Why does everyone try to turn compost toilets into space stations?
All you really need is:
A hole (30x30x30 cm is enough)
Some dry organic matter: shredded coconut husk, rice hulls, leaves, old mulch…
3 stacked car tires
A seat (or just a wooden plank with a hole)
No urine separation.
No daily stirring.
No buckets to empty.
Just you, gravity, and a hungry tree
Every time you go:
Drop your gift.
Sprinkle a bit of dry matter.
That’s it.
I’ve used this system for 7 months now in a food forest in tropical Asia.
No smell. No flies. No mess.
And the banana trees are THRIVING.
Before banana, it was a coffee tree, lemon tree and bamboo.
All of them in incredible good health.
Bonus:
No need to "manage" it.
Each toilet is also a tree feeder.
If your compost toilet doesn't feed an actual tree, ask yourself:
Are you composting - or just storing poop?
Let nature do the work. Stop reinventing the flush. What is one of the worst stupid over polluting invention made by "civilised smart people".
