what is a willow feeder

Maybe I just haven't found it yet, but is there a printed instruction sheet for willow feeders? I am building a house and would very much like to include a willow feeder.

Indoor?

We have an indoor willow feeder.  Have you seen the tour at https://permies.com/tour ?

There are also a few threads that show details from the building of the indoor Willow Feeder at Cooper Cabin, but I can't recall them off hand. If you encounter any questions on specific aspects of constructing a WF, you are welcome to post them in the wiki thread on the subject. Hopefully that can prove a guide and a source for a more helpful document covering the subject...

The script is now a video!

A general overview yt vid from Paul:

Willow feeders also preserve all the fertility, composting looses lots!

Flush toilets stink, literally! Willow feeders are fresh!!

The fly trap experiment at WilloWonka:

A quick tour of the 4 willow feeders at Wheaton Labs

An overview of the cooper pooper, an indoor willow feeder:

All willow feeders at Wheaton Labs are equipped with a moon box for the ladies! Alexandra explains more here:

An overview of WilloWonka:

I liked the part about building a little outhouse sit.upon for ladies who pee outside, especially the mulch to filter it somewhat.  
 We had two holers at the gold camp district old house and a very nice willow had been placed near the second one, possibly helping the more modern septic small leach field which was10 ft uphill from the outhouses.
  No emenants ever reached the road 20 ft downhill from the willow

Nicole,

Any chance of getting an update to this document?



I am finishing up with willow feeder ebook and the only thing to update on this document is "menstrual disc" which could be lumped into the moon cup stuff (I think).

Sure! Tell me what you need updated on it. Just the images/names of natural brands, or is there more?

Maybe change "moon cups" to "moon cups / menstrual discs"
