Our Compost Toilet: Closing The Nutrient Cycle

I lived with a dry loo system-all diy and recycled- for about 2 years. Mine was in the house due to a problem with our old loo. It's very easy, apart from having to carry heavy buckets across the garden. The compost is, as you say, fabulous and smells just like a forest. My system wasn't nearly as complete as yours but maybe I'll start again in my new home. Thank you

I really love this! I like to nutrient cycle my urine by adding it to my compost. I regret every drop wasted down a flush toilet!

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

as long as there's enough carbon then the urine actually helps since it has lots of nitrogen. Not enough carbon and the urine creates the anaerobic bacteria increase with ammonia - and that actually stops the aerobic bacterial composting. Usually a compost pile once out of the toilet - that should have more than enough carbon to happily accept the urine for sure - great point. Still I have noticed sometimes the ammonia smell if there is not enough carbon - so it depends for sure.

[@denisdufresne5338]

Separating the liquid from the solid is a bad idea for the environment, because the only way to stabilize the nitrogen in the urine is the carbon. The urine in contact of air or water will bond with oxygen or hydrogen to become toxic molecules as ammoniac (NH3) or nitrates (NO2 and NO3) . So the best is to fill the bottom of your bucket with a thick layer of absorbing carbon matter to let the nitrogen bond with the carbon to form nutritive and organic molecules as amino acids. This is the most good for the environment which create a better and more balance compost.

[@YinYanUzumaki]

A note on medication and especially birth prevention and compost loos: hormones are not easily dealt with through the composting cycle, so certain medications and especially hormone medication such as birth control or menopause hormone replacement therapy will impact both plant and wild life when spread through the compost, read up more about it as I’m no expert. It is also a problem in regular waste water systems too. Awesome video! Thank you!

Hello from Greece! We also use composting toilet and this was very very helpful since we are trying to troubleshoot some issues. :) Have you notice a fly problem with yours? We have an insane amount of flies(both in the bucket and in the composting pile) and I was wondering if you have any tips on that!

[@manuelangerer-permaculture]

Hello there! Yes we had a fly issue at the beginning too. The only thing that helped was to close every gap in the compost toilet building. I put some insect netting onto every gap and made the door close tightly. Since then there is no problem because no flies can enter the toilet :)

[@corradodecesare]

Hi, I apologize for my unrequested comment. We use slightly wet, outdoor stored sawdust or leaves. No flies, no insects. Dry sawdust is more pleasant to handle, but doesn't work so well. Have a nice day

[@Frog13799]

If you have flies you have not put enough sawdust in the bucket, the waste needs to be covered, when you empty the bucket it must go into the centre of your compost pile and then closed over and materials must be put on top, I use a compost toilet in South Africa, hot and many flies as a rule. Both my toilet and my compost pile do not attract flies. Read the humanure handbook, the guidelines in the book are a treasure.

[@iskarkordt9236]

Wonderful stuff!

[@manuelangerer-permaculture]

Thanks!

[@richc.2968]

Nice work. Is there another way to handle the toilet that doesn't require so much interaction with the human waste and unplugging a liquid connection that will seemingly get waste on your hand? Maybe a large tube/slide out the back of the bathroom that fills a bucket with the solid material and also has the drain for the liquid - making the solids easier to remove and carry to compost bin?

[@manuelangerer-permaculture]

Yes of course you can set this up the way you mentioned. Fit the system to your needs :)

[@peterkoolwijk439]

Great jobb! Important. Congrats. A bit curious to know how the winters are where you are? The reedbed seems so perfect but where we live it wouldn't be active several months of the year. Do you you need to store the liquids through longer periods of frost? Greets.

[@manuelangerer-permaculture]

Thanks! We do have a few months of winter here in Austria. In our case the compost toilet is used a lot less in winter so that we can easily store the liquids or dilute them with water and spread it along our hedge. The other option beside storing the liquids is to build a kind of polytunnel over the reedbed (you need a bigger reedbed for this) in winter so that the plants do not stop growing during the cold time of the year. But that needs to be tested and you need to have a look into very cold tolerant plants that are suitable for a reedbed!

Actually, collected liquid is a good add-on to a compost pile to get it hot. Especially during cool seasons, when there is no grass clippings..

Thanks so much for the videos! Quick question: I am researching doing this on my homestead but it appears that there is some disagreement on the literature as to whether you should separate urine from feces when composting. Some argue that it is dangerous to combine them and it slows down the composting process, while other sources say it's better to combine them because the urine helps it compost at a higher temperature. Thanks in advance for any advice that you can offer!

[@manuelangerer-permaculture]

It depends on how you process the material afterwards. I seperate it so that I don`t need to empty the bucket so often and in that way there will be no bad smells from the bucket. But as said, it depends on what kind of system you use.

[@surajghagare1667]

Wow sir this is amazing...✨🧠👌this is something we all need...💯💖🤝. Are there any alternatives to sawdust, cuz it might not be all the time available, can we use shreds/rough powder of dried leaves, twigs, grass powder, soil etc. or something like that, it would be much better... And how often do you empty the bucket twice or once in a week...? As we want the 💩 to be settled down properly and turn almost odourless... And one more thing if you do not flush it with water then how come the poop goes down on its own...?, I didn't get it...🤔 I would love to know all the related things in detail, rather was wondering if you could just do the same in some other video then it would be very helpful to understand the complete procedure... Thanks... 💚🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for your comment! You can use all the mentioned alternertives for flushing the toilet. The bucket gets emptied when it`s full, depends on how much we use the toilet. Regarding flushing: This just means adding sawdust or other stuff. The poop falls directly into the basket, so no need to move it around like in a conventional toilet.

[@nickdekoninck4270]

Awesome system and very easy to use. I'm thinking of building a compost toilet like this in the near future. I don't have a reet bed and the place where i want to build the toilet is not ideal for a reet bed. Is there an alternative for the reet bed or another option to still use the liquids? I'm thinking of building the toilet higher and use the garden hose to fill a small bucket and use the liquids in the compost pile for a quick start of decomposition. Do you have any ideas or alternatives? If i buildthe toilet like this is there a possibility that flies go through the garden hose into the bucket? If so how do i prevent this from happening?

[@manuelangerer-permaculture]

Yes you can use it in your compost piles! You just need to make sure to always have a compost pile where you can direct the liquids to. You could also dilute it with water and spread it along a hedge or other plants you do not eat something from. Flies won`t come into the toilet through the hose because they want to go into the bucket from the top. The bottom is too moist for them! You just have to make sure that no flies can enter the toilet, then you will be fine.
