Canal near Dickens Heath, Solihull

Can you discharge urine into the canal?

Emphatically no. You cannot discharge urine into the cut under any circumstances! Our position has always been that it is not only undesirable, but is actually illegal to discharge urine directly into the canal. The same rule applies to many rivers, and we expect that any waterways not currently covered, soon will be. Why? Urine[…]Read more

Eco-Loo compost toilet in a strawbale roundhouse

Eco-Loo compost toilet in a strawbale roundhouse We recently delivered an Eco-Loo Divert 20 to Janta and Merav, who have created a place called Karuna in Shropshire. Although they’ve been resident on the site since 2007, in the last couple of years, they obtained planning permission to build a strawbale, green roof roundhouse. Since moving onto[…]Read more

DIY Compost Toilet Installation – Part 3 (with video)

This doesn’t just work, it works brilliantly! As I write this, it’s been over six weeks since the DIY compost loo became operational, so I feel it’s a good time to take stock and tell you how it’s been performing. A Quiet Revolution In the part 2, I recounted the problems of buffeting from using[…]Read more

Preparing a compost toilet for first use – adding soak material

The use of a soak material in the solids container is an important aspect of preparing a compost toilet for use, either when new, or when it’s just been emptied. We recommend chainsaw sawdust or fine wood shavings (often sold as pet bedding), because they’re inexpensive (sometimes free), carbon-rich and highly effective. As well as[…]Read more

Compost Toilets and Natural Building

Compost toilets, such as those we sell, come with fantastic green credentials. Not only do they use no water, they use little or no electricity (depending on the model/type you choose) and can create a fabulous resource (compost) from something most people wrongly consider a waste and a problem. It’s no surprise then, that people who[…]Read more

DIY Compost Toilet Installation – Part 2

So in Part One, we ended the blog post with the realisation that a few mistakes had been made! No problem, I always knew this was a prototype and that learning by doing (and making the mistakes) would help me understand the whole process better, but there’s no getting away from the fact that it[…]Read more

Wood shavings - ready to use as a cover material for a compost toilet

What’s the best cover material for a compost toilet?

A question we’re often asked is “what’s the best cover material for use on a compost toilet?” Even if your compost toilet has a fan for odour control, a cover material is often used as a ‘soak’ at the bottom of the solids container (a 2.5 – 5 cm or so layer is ideal), and[…]Read more

The end result – turning poo into compost

Is it the end? Or maybe it’s really the beginning? Or perhaps it’s all part of a circular journey! What we’re talking about is compost of course; it’s the end of the compost toilet process – turning human faeces into nutritious compost, but in many ways it’s the beginning of another process – putting humus, nutrients,[…]Read more

DIY Compost Toilet Installation – Part 1

When we decided to install a composting toilet in our shed, the easy option would have been just to get the luxurious Separett Villa 9010 (we have a 12 volt, solar-powered battery in there already), or even the functional Separett Weekend, but in an effort to understand what our customers might have to do, I[…]Read more
