I can endorse JULKAKTUS Elastic strap from Ikea.

There's a double "then" where it describes the walls horizontal space.
Under "overall design".

The idea that the bins sit for a year to make the pathogens safe needs to be explored. How did you conclude that was enough time? How to convince a level 2 person. If I don't have saw dust, what are some other options? How about adding living soil?

I hope this gets hold of the eco crowd's imagination.

I'd support this. Since the audience is all over the Eco-scale, I hope it helps convince them it's better than an outhouse. I'm especially concerned it proves the pathogens are gone in the final product. But how to test that?

I'm  not finding Paul's private "health" podcast as mentioned in this podcast. Is it with his "pay to play"  politics and religion collection? My search has failed.
A link would be appreciated.

Edit: Okay, the politics link just showed up in my post, highlighted in the word "politics". Then I found the religion one.

So just the health one, please.

Has anyone ever inoculated the saw dust with e.m. or lactobacillus? I experimented one year in my garage with a 5 gallon pail and shredded paper sprayed with inoculated molasses.
The smell was minimal and the waste seemed to break down quickly. But mostly, I'm wondering if the inoculated spray helped to fight the poop germs.

I think so. Paypal sent me a receipt Oct.17.
But I think I accidentally made the payment while logged in with an old and forgotten permies account.
Please tell me you got it.

This is the documentation I've been wanting for The Lab. Since there is no Kickstarter this year, I'll put in what I would have spent there. Thanks for moving permaculture forward.

I live in Portugal and want to know which mountain you’re talking about when you say mountain time and where please?😉

What is the Mountain Time Zone? The Mountain Time zone is an area 7 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-7) during the winter months (referred to as MST - Mountain Standard Time) and 6 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-6) during the summer months (referred to as MDT - Mountain Daylight Time).
