At around 1 hour 2 minutes, there is a discussion regarding an idea/comment about an aerobic compost toilet using air from a pipe. A source for this would be a video called 'wheelie bin composting toilet'. Its made by an australian fellow. I have just made one in the UK. I added an extra vent for air circulation, and am contemplating adding a non sparking 12v bilge pump fan as shown at the start of this video. Really enjoyed this video. So much knowledge and thought hax gone into this mobile design.
How to make a compost toilet by Geoff Lawton
Ive wondered about using coolers as composting toilet containers because they are insulated and cheap. I’m hoping they show the toilet design in this video.
I loved everything Ned had to say, but Richard is just. really. difficult. to listen to.
Has this design been tried yet? Usually a lot is learned when it’s actually in use.
