New sub. I have used a composting toilet for many years. I live alone, so there's nobody around to "correct" me. I do it MUCH more simply than you do though: I have only ONE bucket. It is lined with a draw-string, tall kitchen plastic trash bag. Both pee and poop make the journey together. I use sawdust and / or bedding shavings to cover. I DO NOT use toilet paper. Rather I have a hot / cold hand-held personal bidet wand. When the bucket gets full, I pull out and replace the plastic trash bag and take the filled one outside to my compost heap. I use a two-station system, since I produce such a small waste footprint. I grow earthworms and sunflowers (for the birds) in my compost heap. The heap is 22 feet long, 30" tall and 4-ft wide made of welded steel and metal paneling, open top & bottom. I've done I t this way for around 7 years so far. One year's worth of humanure composts from 30" x 48" x 48" down to 1 inch in height in one year. I work filling one before switching to the second station, then back to the first -- yearly. Note: If it ever smells or attracts insects either inside or outside, you're doing something wrong.
Coffee grounds mixed with a little sawdust make excellent briquets for your log burners! They last even longer than wood and give of good heat too! I assume you add your wet toilet waste into the "kettle"?
@@t.h.o.r. Always something more to do ;o) I made a press out of a 2x4 as a handle and used a bit of waste pipe to hold the slurry. I wedged it against a rawbolt sticking out of my outhouse ..... Crude but it works and packs up nicely!
