Have been using a bucket “lovable loo” for about a year. And use- for one person- a bucket a week. I’ve been thrilled to finally get my dome up & have the lovable loo indoors, near my bed so I don’t have to go in the rain to use the facilities. With saw dust- which I collect every few weeks from saw mills there is very little smell. 3/4 full is a good time to put the lid on it. I use orange oil spray & incense regularly & just installed a enzyme puck in the lovable loo because I’m really sensitive to smell.
The county (in California) has been monitoring me & threatening to “abate” everything I have done on my property so I have just put lids on all the buckets & camouflage them into my wooded areas with camo netting on top. Looks like they are going to force me to install a septic.
By the time I get the county off my back. All the compost- 1&2 will be inert after 2 years & Ill mix it into a large compost bin. That’s the plan anyway. All this was started during the peak of COVID chaos so I built an emergency shelter & did my best.
Kind of excited about the rich soil I’m creating & will probably build & not really use the septic. We shall see♥️ 🌈.
