For the buckets, clean them like bars clean glasses. Make a pallet base in an area that drains well. Put a sprinkler that shoots water up forcefully. Put the bucket on top, upside-down, and turn on the sprinkler. Have a rack of pallets beside to put the wet buckets to dry upside down.

[@ReadingOcelotl]

Great idea, there is something similar we have in Mexico to reuse drinking water bottles of 20L. before a refill the refill station puts the 20L bottles upside down and a spraying system sprays the water with force in the bottle, gravity makes sure the water drips out.

[@MarieWest-tbic]

That was exactly what came to my mind as well! Like a circle sprinkler and put the buckets upside down over it.

[@mobiousenigma]

poo palace 1.0 is only half full! compost needs to be WORKED! turned and consolidated as it reduces in volume...so get the pitchfork and shovels out and consolidate your bins and turn them at the same time.... in theory when the last is full the first is earth compost ready to be spread or sold.the water from the poo buckets should go into the compost piles...they need to be damp....make the right environment for the bugs doing the work.

[@ratdoto2148]

You probably can't sell it. Human waste compost is banned or discouraged in many places because the risks aren't worth it. Obviously if it's dealt with properly there is zero risk, but totally pasteurizing manure isn't that simple and it's easy to cross contaminate it.

[@mobiousenigma]

@@ratdoto2148 its all about the bugs...and patience i would be composting it 2+ years before i thought of using it and that would be with proper maintenance keeping it aerated moist and at the proper temperature for the beneficial microbes to flourish... also given the choice dong pits wouldnt be my preference as you say it can go into the fan at any time.... biogas dig esters would seem to be the better option here as there should be no dangerous microbes at the tail end of the process being a mostly dry solid which could easily be compacted and dried into a fuel keep the food waste compost for soil amendment and use the poo to make gas and charcoal

[@ratdoto2148]

@@mobiousenigma I know it's totally doable and we have obviously done it for thousands of years, but these days a lot of places just won't let people take the risk. If it doesn't leave the property or contact produce that leaves the property, no issue. The simplest thing I believe they should try is to make a shallow drop toilet, and just dig the oldest waste out from the bottom of it, allowing the rest of it to fall down in it's place, and then move it to another system to finish the process. By the time anyone contacts the waste, it's already at least partially composted. This is really no different to what they already have, but rather than falling into a tiny bucket, it falls into the first part of the system.

[@mobiousenigma]

@@ratdoto2148 there not maintaining there bins the buckets are for the toilets i believe emptied weekly if i heard correctly. the good old outhouse but no one empties them they move the outhouse and cover the pit which is a problem so buckets to bins is better but they need to turn them for aeration check for moisture content and consolidate older piles while doing it theres no need to leave half full bins with non composting human and food waste there i grew up with a compost pile 2 bins this years and last with 6 mouths and 4 acers of lawn it worked well and turned clay into garden soil over the years. ;]

Man, you guys really need a chipper! 95% of those mimosa are the perfect size. Woodchip compost on its own is amazing, but is also great for humanure (instead of needing to use hay). Btw, check out the Humanure Handbook if you haven't already, your piles should be ready within 2 years max.

[@irenedeboer5486]

Seconded. Also, chipping trees while they still have lots of leaves makes for a much better compost than dry wood alone (which you can use instead for mulch. And also for the poop.)

[@daylen577]

You should dig some holes under the trailer, fill them up with rocks and then put supports there, then let some air out of the tires. It saves the tires for if you ever need to move it again, and stops the trailer going out of level when the tires naturally deflate.

[@hendrikno6658]

Small ideas for the humanure: - aeration to help the process: put a good bunch of branches in first, at the bottom of each slot. - turn the compost, fill it higher to increase temperature, refill it after it settled. - use gravity for turning the compost. You have an area with good slope. Start the process somewhere uphill and just push it downhill in steps, ideally with gates (movable pallet) in-between each step to open and close. - loads of wood chips. (Get your chopper plz :D) use them _everywhere_ in thick layers to soak up leaching poop. walkways, around the pallets, washing the bins ...

To clean a bucket: 1) Buy a lid for the poo bucket and cut a small hole in the centre. 2) Put the lid on the bucket 3) Put the hose in the hole with a spray nozzle, so you can point the nozzle at all parts of the bucket without the water splashing out, or even onto your hand. Do this near the poo-pallets, so you can empty the water onto the compost. 4) Screw a scrubbing brush onto a broom handle so you can scrub the insides of the bucket without having to get too close to it. 5) Put the bucket in a square 'bucket-holder' so it doesn't tip over when you're cleaning it.

[@stgsux]

The poo "palace" just looks like a dumping ground rather than actual composting. I think the bins should be enclosed, and the compost turned more than it appears to be currently. the temperature should also be checked(a long thermometer) to ensure there is enough heat to kill off the right pathogens, and then you can actually use that soil and not require building more pallet palaces. Maybe also some rainwater collectors near the area to reduce the need for hauling buckets around to wash them. Not sure if the pallets are conducive to retaining enough heat for killing off what needs to be killed off either.

[@bstiger6482]

Hey Dave, a tip for your poo collection system, is to add hydrated lime in layers, just like the straw. Hydrated Lime is a very good treatment for the fecal matter in sewage, as it has been used for over a century for that purpose. It is fairly cheap, and can be bought in bags or bulk, but needs protection from rain. It also help eliminate odors. Give it a try.

[@Barbaralee1205]

An alternative that will turn you poop into garden gold is charcole. Make your own from the dead mimosa trees. Crush and add to the poop buckets. Research biochar and see what it can do for project camp!

[@bstiger6482]

@@Barbaralee1205 Thanks Barbara, I'm sure that is a good process, but look at the time involved in doing that? And it does not decay the sludge as fast as lime, nor control the smell as well. The lime is a better suited process for sewage treatment, and has been used for hundreds of years. I have spent over 45 years around the treatment process, and my dad longer than that, and it seems to be a go to treatment for decomposition and smell of sludge. Thanks for the idea anyway..

URGENT: a system with urine separation. The job of cleaning the containers would be much less unpleasant. There would be no smell and you would not need to add straw to the composting system = less composting space too

[@MennoJanssen]

It maybe could be an opportunity to install a greenhouse as an extension to the fridge box (with recycled glass windows?). This would create a (ideally temperature controlled environment) to germinate seedlings in a bit higher humidity, that later on after humidity training are introduced into the ecological systems that you want to design. Another interesting option would be to dig a well, if you want I can connect you to a video in which a company in portugal digs 120 meters deep into the earth to connect to water supply streams. Imagine what this can do. You could create a water irrigation system with 1000's of meters of pipes, feeding every vulnerable oak on your land. making it possible to on large scale reintroduce the chestnuts and other valuable species! And for all trees that you connect to the system, tremendously amplify its growth potential. Because repetitive water patterns to long term support plants, it allows the plant roots to connect to deeper water streams, making the ecosystem very resilient to extreme temperatures. Because roots of plants follow patterns. Keep on rocking, what you guys are doing all together is truly amazing. Much love for project Kamp!

For cleaning the poop buckets you could look into a garden sprayer that rotates and building a small platform (really just a bracket) to put the bucket over it upside down, then it's a matter of turning on the sprayer for a few seconds and it'll do all the work. Would need to rinse off the sprayer afterwards, but that's still a lot cleaner than the current system

[@jimysk8er]

The best poop compost solution ive ever seen I think was from kirsten dirksen video a long time ago but basically the "throne" was sitting up high and the waste would drop down a slanted chute which had dividers in it. You can fill up the first section with waste and when its full you slide the first divider out so that the waste tumbles to the next section and then you put back the divider. The whole chute was closed off and you had little to no contact with fresh waste. The tumbling action helped to introduce oxygen and mix things up and the only waste that you actually had to come in contact with was all the way at the bottom of the chute after it had fully broken down. The main issue which is echoed by other commenters is that you arent mixing things or making sure the ratio of nitrogen to carbon to water to oxygen is correct so you end up with smelly bacteria. A waste deposit if left out uncovered will stop smelling after a day because the new environment for the anaerobic bacteria present is not ideal. What you want is an environment for aerobic bacteria which digest organic matter much quicker. They need oxygen and heat but not too much heat which can be reduced by introducing water and or mixing which is how you keep adding oxygen. A note when it comes to water is that liquid waste much more resembles the addition of high nitrogen material so it should not be considered as just water. A method to help with the smell in the short term is to use more carbon material when depositing waste. Doing so will make the decomposition take longer but the moisture and the smell will be absorbed faster.

Mostly the room is divided and in one half they put the milking system with all its technology and in the other half there is the barrel where the dairy truck can attach and pump off the cooled milk every two or three days. I already installed some photovoltaic systems on three of them to run the cooling unit for the barrel room with solar power.

With this much people and with how often you all have to clean and touch the human manure m, I strongly suggest a septic system. You probably need two large septic system. In the outskirts of the property, a few compose toilet is okay. But this is too large for dealing with compost alone. If installed properly, it's hygienic and also let the bacteria decomposes waste properly to a drainage field. We are buying rural land and getting our septic system in 1500 gallons for 4 bedroom home. Sometimes city code is there for a reason. Also, those tires on the trailer will get damaged in the sun. Best get covers for them. Best to your community!

[@theinfinitymachine9610]

Oh I'd like to add that, you don't need a permit for septic tanks. Many people can install themselves. However, it's important to do a perc test for soil drainage and to consult with a local planner to make sure there's enough set backs from natural river/streams. It is possible to have an environmentally friendly septic system with yearly proper care.

A tip for compost which I'm sure you would like to know is that if it smells its releasing methane. Anaerobic bacteria responsible for nasty smells are also the bacteria which release methane. Aerobic bacteria which break down organic material much faster do not smell and do not release methane. Aerobic bacteria need more assistance to thrive.

Think the reason they're not used much for building projects is that if a fire, or even the later building renovations, pierce the metal sheathing into the internal insulation, that insulating material is super flammable.

The stand legs do a good job, but should be on a firm base (concrete pad or a steel plate) and raised perhaps only 2-4 cm.

For composting toilets, the best system I saw is a poop tower. You build a mound/tower, atop which you have your toilet. If there's an angle, the poop slowly tumble, and naturally becomes compost after 3 years. Plan the volume according to your use.

[@nickfosterxx]

He he, love your humour Prakriti!

[@ratdoto2148]

What you could do for the toilets is have a shallow drop toilet with access to the bottom of it (some sort of removable side panel). The bottom would be the oldest waste which would have mostly turned to soil. You can shovel it out from the bottom and move it to another compost system to finish the process. This is essentially what you already have, except instead of moving the waste to the pallet system in those horrible buckets, it drops into one of it's sections to begin with and by the time anyone has to touch it, it's already at least partially turned into soil. Safer and more tolerable.

Making a wand extension for the hose, to keep the water from splashing back on those washing, would be a good start. It can be made out of PVC pipe and bits, to make the length best for the purpose. I would make it to desired lenth,, than a 90 degree angle with another length just 2 to 3 inches longer than the depth of the bucket, than capped with holes drilled on sides and bottom, so water sprays washing sides and bottom of bucket at the same time.. there could olso be added a soap pick up in the first length if desired.

Clean the buckets on top of a lot of woodchips. This will absorb the moisture and stench. And after a while you just add wood chips.

When a digger comes, you can dig a hole where the poop pallets are situated and then install a proper toilet and bathroom using recycled materials.

For the bucket cleaning, you need one of those things they clean glasses with at the bar, where you place the glass upside down and it sprays the inside out. Like that, except large, for buckets. Can make it out of a ring of plastic pex tubing with holes punched to spray outward at bucket sides.

It seems to me that with all the engineers that come to kamp someone would devise a system for washing poo buckets. Like a rotating pressurized nozzle that you can set the bucket over and have it cleaned and rinsed. The water can run into a pit.

Another vote for adding charcoal to your poop buckets. And a little soil or compost to get a head start on the process while in use.

Fallen tree pieces could make some nice natural bench seating.

Thoughts about the episode: 1; you have under dimension the section of the Pooooo Palace, one section needs to hold 1month. After 3 years you can use it on crops for humans. That means you need 36(+6 for insurance) sections to be able to have a waste facility. 2: buy a old industrial dishwashing machine that is about 1m3 big to clean the bucket, and uses a big dränage pipe from that to divert the waste water. (Remember that peeee and sheet should not mix, so maybe let the waste water run out in to a oil barrel of charcoal before it drains to the soil)

Why not use recycled paper bags in the bins to collect the "solids"? It will be a slightly less messy process to dump the brown stuff into the poop palace. In addition, paper soaks up liquids and is compostable.
