Make a 2 bin humanure compost bin system - PEM BB wastestreams.straw.2bin

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Waste Streams.

Are you ready for a sticky subject?  You guessed it, it's poop.  Instead of wasting fresh water to send those turds to a septic or sewer, let's try to turn them into food!

This BB and a few adjacent to it fully influenced by Joseph Jenkens' The Humanure Handbook edition 4.  Joseph is a wonderful man who posted the book on his website for any who can't buy it.  I'd highly recommend it and, if you're short on time, look at chapter 14 The Tao of Compost.

 

Here's one way to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Build a 2+ bin compost system designed to manage humanure, and other compostables if you wish
  - Includes a way to keep cover materials dry
  - Has sides to contain it
  - Includes a way to empty it fully without lifting contents out the top
  - No plywood, treated or man-made wood products
  - Includes a very clear "Don't use until XX/XX/XX" sign for one bin
  - Must follow the Humanure Handbook philosophy

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Place where the bins will go
  - Bins under construction
  - Show dug out "dish" in the earth under each bin
  - Finished bins with dry storage space for cover materials
  - Sign indicating when the resting compost is ready for distribution
