PS never leave the toilet roll in the out house as it would get damp... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 I usually start with grass, then just polish it up a bit with paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m was originally thinking about a rain water catchment to flush it but I’m worried about freezing so now I’m thinking of doing a 4ft deep hole.

Have a read up on what we called " night soil " here in the UK many years ago . It's quite interesting . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoBodyImportant Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 That’s not good. About 4 ft down my out house became a well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udderlyoffroad Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Well at least you have a(nother) water source on the property. Are you on a well? I suppose you could, if you didn't want to waste the effort of building your 'turdis', make a composting toilet? You know, where you seperate the no 1's and no 2's. The pee runs off, the poop eventually turns into fertilisier, which you spread in the vegetable garden. Or just catch everything in a bucket, and whichever one of your buddies shows up to the range without any beer or food has to...carry the can.
