Nature's Head Composting Toilet - Honest Review

After using our Nature's Head Composting Toilet for the last 3 years while traveling full-time, we decided it's about time for a proper review. Everything we love and hate about this composting toilet and what we should have done different.

[@bld895]

We used one of these living full time on a boat. We found that putting about 1 inch of vinegar into the urine bottle after we emptied it and before using it again almost eliminated the smell.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Yeah, we’ve heard that! We’ll give it a shot!

[@bld895]

@My Name Is Blue Canary After you dump the bottle and rinse with water, add the vinegar and leave it. That, plus using the spray bottle with 50-50 water /vinegar after you pee will keep odours in check.

[@katherineschneider2788]

Also boric acid powder - a few spoonfuls

[@user-gq2vn1xj2r]

I have done this. I now use a product called 'urine digester' which is better IMO, a few sprays after each pee.

[@autumnmansfield1304]

Did you ever try hydrogen peroxide?

[@dethmaul]

NOBODY else has mentioned the filters. And you're the second person to mention mold. Good on you.

[@genegreear4183]

I have used a composting toilet for years but just use five gallon buckets under the seat. I used wood shavings that I buy really cheap at a pets store. They are less than five dollars for a compressed bail. It usually last me over a year. The last one lasted a year and four months and was used everyday. It doesn’t smell. After I go I just cover it up with the shavings and that’s it. When it’s half full. I put the lid on tight and take it outside and bring a clean bucket back in and start all over. The toilet lid is fastened just like on a toilet but it it screwed down to the wood box that covers it. No fan, no cranking and no taking it apart and cleaning. When I have time I dump the bucket and use a power washer to clean it out when it’s empty. I just add it to my stack of buckets and lids land I’m done. Later

[@TinyShinyHome]

Composting toilets are easy if you have a house or land. This is built for traveling in RV’s.

[@MrMatt8478]

How do you separate the pee?

[@mikeg.5750]

I’m a mechanical engineer and am thinking about installing one in a third floor residential space (upper unit of a two family) for a second bathroom that will get much less use than the the second floor bathroom with conventional plumbing. It’s a viable option because the pee bucket just needs to be dumped downstairs. This video is a must see video for understanding the actual use and maintenance requirements. Very informative.

[@5222k]

How do you know when there is an engineer in the room?….. Just wait 10 seconds and they will announce it.

[@handroids1981]

@@5222k OMG. It's _so_ true.

[@katherineschneider2788]

I wish I had watched this before living full time for 8 months with my Nature’s Head! Very informative illustration and oops guess I need to look at those filters 😬. The one thing that I didn’t hear you mention, which drove my decision, was saving fresh water especially when boondocking.

[@independentthinker9113]

Great review! The level of detail and handy tips is phenomenal. Way to review!

[@BreakingFreeOffGrid]

Yes!! Totally agree!

Honestly the best review I’ve seen on this! Really appreciated the filters!

[@kikilove1029]

Best review of this I have seen. Learned the most!

[@2873lonewolf]

You mentioned plumbing the urine to grey tank. How would this be done to work on this product? Is there already products to do this procedure on the market? Any videos on this?

[@thedirtprincess3293]

I'd love to know this also.

[@CherishEaDay]

You know what i appreciate? The TRUTH! And basically...you're the first/only to do that in regards to the "Natures Head". Everyone else says..."I was a little concerned about it but it's fine...no smell." Yeah...right. lol Thanks for the best vid on composting toilets.

[@thedirtprincess3293]

I've gotta tell you, I thought, "this sounds AWESOME!" Until I saw this video. No. Freaking. Way. No way am I pulling the toilet out and doing all that, even if it's only once a month. I know me, and I will hate my life. Black tank is looking a lot better. *hangs head* So...THANK YOU SO MUCH @Tiny Shiny Home for telling the TRUTH! That's a thousand dollars I won't spend.

[@carolmyers6678]

I know this video is 3 years old but it just resurfaced on my feed. I am so grateful you did this video. It answered all my questions on how they worked. Thank you Jonathan, excellent explaintion.

[@TinyShinyHome]

You are welcome!

[@clivesgarage]

The ONLY comprehensive NH toilet video on the interwonk. Thanks Jonathan! And that's why my friend, you ROCK!

[@TinyShinyHome]

The interwonk 😂.

[@UYezhan]

Lol. Great intro. I was eager to ask this things but wasn't sure this is appropriate and polite. And you posted this video. Never knew these devices were so convenient.

[@Misfit.Sanctuary]

Great review! Thank you for mentioning the filters. No one else talked about that and it feels like that might be a big deal. LOL! Thanks for all the details!

[@chucksmith9772]

Well done. I was thinking about a lavro dry flush for my off grid cabin, but after watching your video, I'm buying a nature's head composted. Great video and thanks for the tips/tricks!

[@mikejones-nd6ni]

The way i shyt that thing would be a mess. i poop an it looks like someone got shot in the head. 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂

[@PixieDust-eq6kc]

This is one of the best off grid toilet systems reviews I have ever seen. The only thing I would have done differently is put on gloves up to my elbows. Lol. But that's just me.🤪😉

[@TinyShinyHome]

Hah. You get over it pretty quick 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BreakingFreeOffGrid]

I was thinking that as well!

[@bikinggal1]

From the research I have done, this is the grand poobah of composting toilets. Pricey yeah but this is the one I will be buying when time comes! This is a great review!

[@joethomas7150]

First time viewing the ups and downs of compost toilets. I’m buying a canned ham. I’m building a nice wet bath area. Mostly going to be bedroom and a couple of small chairs, plus tiny cooking area. Most of our cooking is outside. I really enjoyed your review. Well done. I’m 74 and have spent most of my life in the backcountry of Montana. I’m slowin down. Moved to Northern California. Good place I think. I’m getting prepared to go follow my nose to the NE corner of the state to check out hunting and fishing. I feel pretty secure as to how to live well in the tow along now that I have a more concise understanding of the major concern, composting toilets. Thanks again amigo. Joe

[@keithwebb1926]

California from Montana? I'm moving from California to Montana in 2 months. Won't throw water on your parade so I'll just say good luck and wish you well.

[@joethomas7150]

We’ll Keith, I’ve lived in both places. I wouldn’t move back to what Montana had become. It used to be a great place. There’s more wild lands in California than in Montana. Too many people from California, Texas, Florida etc, fell for the “ last best place” advertising. Montana has been too exploited. Land and housing prices are nearly as high as California’s. Fortunately, my place in N. California is nearly paid off plus I own another one outright.

[@SeasonedCitizen]

@@keithwebb1926 you probably won't throw water because there isn't any to waste! Good luck to both you and Joe in your endeavors.

[@wkmac2]

I've watched a number of composting toilet videos including some outhouse and 5 gal bucket solutions. We were never sure on what was the best way forward but after watching your video on this, we feel much more confident with this Nature's Head solution. We would also only be 2 people and I also agree that plumbing in the urine separator to a fixed drain makes more sense. Using on a homestead situation I can also plumb in a separate urinal which takes pressure off the Nature's Head not to mention on our remote property I can pick and choose certain trees to visit and share the love. LOL! Good stuff. Thanks.

[@ann-brittbjurhult4997]

Hello from Prince Albert Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦 Thank you so much for explaining how a composting toilet works. With six of you using it you sure have to clean it a lot more frequently. Maybe you could consider putting in a second one so you don’t have to clean every week. I’m sure it’s not one of your favourite jobs. Anyway. I enjoy watching your progress. Keep them coming! Not just about the toilet but all the rest. Best wishes!

[@erinelkins237]

Great video! Not an RVer, but curious, what is this toilet like for people who have periods? Also, this may seem like a silly question, but how does the toilet divert pee from poo if they happen at the same time?

[@AHolston8]

Yes! I’d love to know these answers as well.

[@bekah8236]

Very helpful! I’m considering my options for a tiny house and don’t want to pay for a septic system. So this was very informative

[@RomanH1984]

Urine is also great to get rid of ant beds. They may only move 10 feet but eventually you can pee em off your property or camp site.

[@abourg]

Best video i have found on explaining.I like the fact that you guys are 6 people using it explains so Much better, I was looking at the Laveo dry flush, but now you sold me a natures head 😊

[@Sciayam]

Great review - only, if you use Medicine do NOT use the urine for plants ...

[@susanjos2315]

This was such an informative video thanks! I do have a question though...without getting too graphic sometimes women do #1 And # 2 at the same time. How does this work in a composting toilet? Thanks!

[@TinyShinyHome]

You just have to concentrate really hard. Ha. Takes some practice:)

[@gregoryhulse3061]

SUSAN JO S : THAT WAS A GREAT QUESTION TO CONCIDER...MUCH EASIER FOR A MALE TO USE THIS TOILETING SYSTEM SINCE THEIR STREAMING MALE PARTS HAVE A BETTER AIM...BUT FEMALE PARTS WORK DIFFERENT ESPECIALLY ADULT/OLDER WOMEN &/ OR MALE OR FEMALES WITH IRRITABLE BOWL SYNDROME... ITS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY BUCKET LID TOILET FOR RVING/ OUTDOOR CAMPING/ WORKSHOP/ IN HOME...YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE " SHTF " EMERGENCIES COME UP LIKE COVID-19...HOPE THIS HELPS

[@khm2128]

After seeing all the cleaning steps, I would totally just use a bucket system with kitty litter and just bag up each... deposit.

[@TinyShinyHome]

@@khm2128 Hahaha - deposit 😂

[@rachaellafriniere9349]

Helped me make a decision for my RV remodel. I think I am going for the compost toilet. Thanks for sharing.

[@Chubbydippin]

Thank you for this segment. Feel as though you've covered all the issues, components and questions I had. This content was the sh*t !!

[@ItsWewn]

Thank you for the info on the peat moss I just recently started using my natures head and am suffering from a terrible smell from what I presume is because I’m using peat instead of coconut

[@pennyquinn2427]

This was excellent! Funny and informative. I really appreciate the honest and direct approach. That is quite a chore to remove it and clean it on the truck bed every 1-2 weeks. I'm assuming the urine container is easy to remove and dump. Also, how heavy is this thing when full?

[@TinyShinyHome]

Haha thanks :) Yes, the urine container can be easily removed - just undo the latches, partially lift up the lid, and pull it out. With both liquids and solids full, I'd say it's 30-40lbs. Empty 10-15lbs. With our 5th wheel, I had to spend about the same amount of time flushing the black tank each week so all in all it's not too bad. The cleaning is definitely the worst part.

[@CringePanda]

Thanks, you've just convinced me to invest in a septic system haha

[@jeffreyengle2762]

The one problem that I have with this toilet is the fact that the seat is the size of a postage stamp for larger people. I just wish they would make the seat bigger like a standard size long gated seat.

[@dannyeugenewaits9486]

first off what great humor!! cheers! second what great advice and experiance you just shared! the wife and I have just purchased a piece of property in the country and have decided to build aweekend get-a-way A Frame Cabin, 24'X40' totally off grid, no electricity other than solar/battery just for the essintal toilet fan and our 12v tankless hotwater heater for our shower, our children are now on their own! atlast! yeah!!! part of our decision was to opt out of an outhouse, those are just a mess and fly catcher, not saying building a outhouse just for show isnt out of the question! they are cool looking! half moon cut in the door and all! our biggest challange was what make, model and company to use as a composing toilet the Nature's Head seams to be the best construction and overall thought out! your video offered so much advice in the cleaning process that it was the final dicision of ours to purchase the NH toilet! thanks and Cheers from The Big Sky State Montana!

[@BreakingFreeOffGrid]

Congratulations on your weekend get-a-way! We live off grid full time and this video has really helped in deciding if this toilet was worth it. I’m actually kind of excited about it now.

[@DaveBurkle]

We own 2 Nature's Heads toilets, one in a tiny house we built and the other in a trailer that we remodeled, changing out the flush toilet. Together they have over 8 years of use. The biggest problem we've experienced is the constant infiltration of those tiny fruit flies, which makes using it very unpleasant. We also did not like having to either remove the whole base unit and carry it outside... or do the change-out of the solids inside. We have just recently decided to change the process. We have now removed the agitator from the unit (very easy) and instead placed an 8-gallon compost bag inside. We also added caulking all the way around under the molded lip of the base unit, which has been the prime breeding ground for these fly eggs. Then we added a slightly stronger fan with about 50% more airflow (40x40x20 vs 40x40x10 mm). The replacement fan draws 0.11 amps instead of the 0.07 standard. It's not much more, and we are on shore power anyway. And the fan fits the existing housing. The drawback is that we aren't agitating (mixing) the coconut coir with the solids. The huge benefit is we just lift out the composting bag (and the base unit stays clean) and we don't have to remove the base unit... much faster and cleaner.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Agreed, now that we're more stationary it is kind of a pain. Where'd you get the fan that fits? Seems like a quick easy upgrade for better airflow.

[@lima3231]

I like the intro part, funny.

[@isaacturnerit]

Thanks for the video homie. I just got one.

[@ChasingtheWildWonder]

Haha that intro is 🔥🔥

[@TinyShinyHome]

Makes me laugh every time:)

[@tesslacali8655]

How heavy is this thing by itself?

[@TinyShinyHome]

Empty? Maybe 10lbs. Full? A solid 20-30lbs depending on what’s in it 😂

[@wyocoyotewyocoyote9007]

Excellent review, has convinced me I'm not the guy for one, though I too don't use the black water and have removed my head. Would be good to get the dudes/dudettes perspective on the pee separation. Looks like a somewhat elongated toilet? at a cost of a grand, I think I'm better of with a few buckets and a shovel in most situations, Thanks.

[@GustavoMSilva]

Thank you for the tips! I'm just using a bucket like a compost toilet and I'm powering used coffee powder every time I use the bucket. I don't know if it's good, apparently yes, but I had fly problem, because before I left the coffee powder opened in the kitchen and the flies put eggs on it. Sorry for my bad English, I hope I got understood.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Yeah you have to us a composting agent like coco coir or something similar :)

[@joanstump285]

Im so impressed how clean your natures head is. Our door especially the holes get so dirty from the urine. We have ours for 5 years and replaced the door 3 times. We also found aqua chem works to keep the pee tanks clean and not smelly. Not sure how safe for the environment it is but we live in a marina so they have a place to dump tanks

[@TinyShinyHome]

Jonathan cleans it real well. :)

[@TinyShinyHome]

(Jonathan here) - wait you can replace the trap door?!?? We totally need to do this. Ours is gross, too.

[@simonem.3092]

oh! and yeah, great intro. The editing and creativity are absolutely pro, better than actually. Love love it.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Thanks:) I’ll ask Courtney about it!

[@ThePaternalPartner]

Been using this composter for about three years. I have the urine section plumbed into my rv black tank along with my bath sink. It is the perfect setup for my wife and I.

[@garywells3874]

How did you plumb the urine section to the gray tank? Thanks.

[@teslafreedomenergy]

do you put a biological activator-like enzymes?

[@YenZenBamboo]

Mate if you get this I hope it may help. With the vent if you use a vertical black pipe in the sun it with draw air up. Just place a filter at the top that’s large enough . Thanks so much for showing this.

im not shure its possible to buy that coconut thing in germany..never heard of it.😢

[@reganbohmer6522]

Great video! Wondering if people put the compost bag in first for ease of removal, or will it be degraded by the time it needs changed? 🤔

[@thatgradguy]

You have to give the compost a turn after use, so you would likely rip the compost bag in the process. Would be a great idea though for people with a DIY composting toilet that doesn't have the spindle built-in.

[@andreacahill5906]

Thank you. Looks perfect for little old me in my tiny home. 👏👏👏🌼🌼🌼

[@2000sancho]

I think I'll just rather go out and do it in the wild than use this honestly.

[@coltscott4121]

Watching this while in a bathroom really makes it a 4D experience

[@JessicaNiles]

This is getting a little nitty gritty but what happens when #1 and #2 are released simultaneously (and it can't be helped)? 😬

[@TinyShinyHome]

Seat has a separator built in

[@lawlesslove]

I have a question.. do you add water to your bricks?

[@LastChanceTinyHouse]

Looks like more hassle then I'm willing to do. I have a bucket toilet, with a urine separator. And, for times when I don't need to poop, I created a standing urinal. I use sawdust for the poop and there's no smell at all.

[@willpopemusic]

Lol, I couldn't help but picture someone dumping the solids container on their garden bed and then *cue foghorn* LOL

[@TinyShinyHome]

Eww. Haha. Gross.

[@BreakingFreeOffGrid]

We are researching the nature’s head right now and your review was absolutely fantastic! Really loved the intro, I was laughing my ass off! Good job sir! I was really skeptical. We currently use buckets and didn’t want to buy something that was harder to dump. Your review has me leaning towards the natures head now. I saw someone commented on using vinegar in the pee side, this does work. I do this in my pee bucket, hardly any smell. Without vinegar it’s almost unbearable...🤮. Absolutely fantastic video! Thank you for sharing!

[@TinyShinyHome]

We’ve heard a lot of people add vinegar to the spray bottle of water. It probably does help but we don’t ever remember to do it.

[@BreakingFreeOffGrid]

@@TinyShinyHome I would just add the vinegar right into the container after emptying it. About an inch on the bottom. That’s what I do for my bucket. You’ll be amazed!

[@TinyShinyHome]

We’ll try it!

[@BreakingFreeOffGrid]

@@TinyShinyHome would like to know what you think. 😀

[@infotoons212]

I've use vinegar before but what I've found works even better is baking soda. Three or four tablespoons in the container will do and no vinegar smell.

[@lorismith3578]

Thank you for sharing and walking thru each step of the process. Very informative, very helpful!!

[@wematanye533]

I would be afraid of dropping a deuce into the front half

[@geoffmay4906]

Can you use sawdust if you can’t get coconut husk

[@JRNYFWD]

LOVE your intro...and video!! There are only 2 of us and we have issue with urine leaking through the back catch into the bucket. Really gross in the summer! (and we haven't used the composting part yet!). Did you guys have any issues with this? We've tried being really careful, but have had to modify.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Sorry you’ve had issues - no ours never leaks unless we overfill it - but even then it won’t leak until we open it and break the seal

[@zoeharris6795]

Best intro I've seen on a composting toilet review! 😂👏🏽👏🏽

[@robtheplod]

The £1,000 price tag always put me off this, when you can make for for about £20....

[@TinyShinyHome]

Show me how you can make one for $20 that actually does everything this one does...

[@Damoneverywhere]

Exactly what I needed to make an important decision.👍 Thanks!

[@RomanH1984]

Lots of coco core contains high salt content that's why it molds way less.

[@jo_nathan_nation6544]

I know I’m really late to the conversation because this video is four years old but how do you power that little fan? Is it battery powered so it’s fully independent or do I have to plug it in?

[@TinyShinyHome]

You have to power it somehow yourself. Check their website though they may have some other options.

[@praisethelord2377]

Question: composting toilet usa has a bundle for about $975, including 12 volt wall transformer, clam shell vent assy, an extra liquid bottle, and 10 bricks of coco coir. Are these extra stuff necessarry? Also, there are 2 agitator handles available. Which one do you recommend? Thanks in advance..

[@TinyShinyHome]

Yeah that is all essential. You have to have a fan that vents to the outside to control moisture and smell. Extra liquid bottle is great to have for when you need to clean the one on use. And you can never have too much coco coir! I think we got the spider handle. Hope that helps!

[@solomonthurman7486]

So what do you do about the streaks? Lol

[@m.antoinette3410]

Thank you so much for this. Your comment that it really depends on the ratio of campground to Boondocking that you do should drive the decision as to whether you truly need a composting toilet. After reviewing my situation, I realized that a composting toilet would not be necessary for me. Thanks again! You rule!!

[@TinyShinyHome]

Glad to hear it!

[@Hexicus_Saturnicus]

Is the fan always running? Apologies if someone already asked this question that I didn’t see.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Yes

[@earthstar2493]

My nature's head grows flies and cockroaches. It's time to consider a macerator.

[@TinyShinyHome]

If it's growing flies and cockroaches you need to clean it out and make sure there's better airflow and the right mix of coir to solids.

[@knutblaise9437]

I don't recall any reviews addressing the two filters. Thank yo!!!!!! As mentioned above AStreaminLife does a good job of routing urine into the gray tank. I also watched a video where someone dumped urine into the shower to get it into the gray tank. Some people don't deposit any used toilet paper into their composting toilets. If you don't store your used toilet paper in the natures head how do you store it to contain odors?

[@TinyShinyHome]

We have a trash can with a lid, take it out if it ever smells. It’s small so it gets taken out every few days.

[@kimwood5773]

I have a question. We have 2 out of 4 of our family have loose to diarrhea quite often. TMI, I know, but do you have any idea how a composting toilet would work for that situation? I’ve never heard anyone address it.

[@TinyShinyHome]

You’d just need to change it more often or add dry coco coir as needed. Shouldn’t be a huge issue.

[@kimwood5773]

Tiny Shiny Home thank you! That’s what I was hoping to hear. We’d love to ditch the black tank for more grey.

[@MidlifePrices]

I’m not gonna lie. That looks like a major pain compared to the Joe Jenkins way. All you need are some pallets and zip ties to make a bin for the compost. Perhaps a second bucket toilet so that one gets a little break? Great video! Hilarious intro!👌🏽😄

[@TinyShinyHome]

We’ll eventually switch to buckets but not until we get our hacienda built.

[@jefferyshall]

Disappointing that you need a screwdriver to change the filters.

[@TinyShinyHome]

😂 why is that disappointing?

[@KennethByers-w2j]

May need this one day. I pray not.

[@HausHillEntertainment]

Thanks for sharing this. I saw a recent video where they had wood shavings in the buckets to help soak up the urine. They said the urine + solids + shavings would need to sit (for a full year) before being able to be used for fertilizer. Great video. I’ll be back. #HausHillEntertainment

[@cyl1185]

A whole year.. WOW! I didn't realize it would take that long

[@gregberry8203]

Best Review ever, one Question, that Coconut Coir looks like it's about $20 per 11lb Brick, how many refills can you get with that once it's broken up? Are there cheaper alternatives that work also? Inquiring Minds need to know...lol 👍 🤠

[@TinyShinyHome]

Great question - looking at our Amazon history we order a brick every 2-3 months. So if we're changing it out every 11-14 days that's roughly 4-5 refills per brick. It's crazy how much they expand once you add water and break apart. Again, we're REALLY using this thing with 6 people. Most folks will be changing their solids once every couple of months so theoretically one brick would last a whole lot longer for 2-3 people.

[@HyperJoe]

@@TinyShinyHome Awesome! That answered My Question, it would only be the 2 of us most of the time, during My actual Build 4 at the most, also considered renting a Construction Porta-Potty, just during the Build for anyone that might be there helping, thanks for the Info, good luck on Your New Homestead! 👍 🤠

[@naomianderson7230]

Where does the paper go?

What about when you get sick? Vomit? diarrhea?

[@TinyShinyHome]

Have to change it more often with more moisture.

[@sandimonteith1151]

Did you do a video on your install? Venting, powering fan, etc

[@TinyShinyHome]

We installed it as part of our Airstream Renovation so it was just a matter of drilling a hole and making sure we had a place to hook it up to power. Adding to an existing trailer could be a little bit tricker.

[@mondavou9408]

I read a review that it doesn't come with the power adapter for the internal fan? Really? Its doesn't come complete? I also read several folks having issues with dying fans (probably bought the wrong power supply). How has your experience been? Thanks.

Well, it's a tiny 12V native fan so no you wouldn't need a power supply, you'd wire it directly into your RV's 12V system. That being said, a quick look on their website shows you can get an AC power adapter if you want. We've replaced the fan once or twice over the 7+ years we've been using it. They're cheap, not a big deal.

The process of composting is great. but the natures head and many other are way over priced for what they do and the way they are constructed/designed.
