I find this all very interesting, we can survive on our own. Its a matter of learning and teaching. This is but one of many videos on permaculture, I'm viewing. Thank you.
@Nanaknows60 - it's ok to use crap that comes from rubbish diets as long as the crap is left to decompose until it is dry and has no smell.
It's also ok to have grazing / pasture that is used in a crop rotation or just leaves the plant-eaters waste on the land to break down naturally, but if you are putting manures from animals into soil feed then yes it's usually best not to use it fresh. Some exceptions like sheep fowl goat kak can go in buried directly, if you're using any dig methods.
1- Does it not need to be aerated? Don't the worms and micro organisms need to breath?
2- Temperature wise, you have it in the shade. In good old Egypt, trees and bushes are kind of difficult to come by. Do we put the buckets underneath a canopy or something?
3- I also noticed you don't tumble your mixture; I'm just curious why.
@stormbytes this is within reason! you say youa ere all for natural but you cant handle composting you own shit?! the veg you buy at the store has had cow shit and horse shit to grow in! ... so how is this any different?! if you were all for natural this would get your aproval !!!
@NocturnalBreather Look, you have a point about how veggies are grown but it human waste is seriously gross. I mean cow shit doesn't bother me, but I feel this might be a stretch. To each his own. I'm really am all for natural. In fact, looking at staw-bale building for my next structure - but it will be all plumbing for me thanks very much!
@NocturnalBreather Because horses, cows and chickens are not carnivorous, and nor does their shit generally carry dangerous pathogens like human waste can carry. There are many dangerous viruses and other stuff that can make you very sick as the result of exposure to human waste. The same with other carnivorous wastes. That is why they tell you not to put dog or cat shit into compost bins.
@proptopkus - composting crap shouldn't usually be done the same way that kitchen waste etc is composted, it should be contained and left to naturally decompose, usually buried underground (either to directly decompose or in containers that are removed once decomposition is over).
True about pathogens but a proper compost toilet, indoor or outdoor, is still way healthier than running it through pipes, treated with bio-toxins & then dumped into the sea...or as slurry for that matter.
@stormbytes get over it. how do you feel when taking a shit? thats natural, taking a shit. do you find taking a shit 'absolutely disgusting'? i think we should see a lot more people using composting toilets, it would help the earth out big time. look at earthworms, they keep soil rich in nutrients by consuming soil and plant material then shitting it out. i prefer plumbing too but i would never be afraid to use these types of toilets as i know i would be doing good for the earth.
Maybe this works better in the country definitly not in the city, not very neighborly plus the Health Dept wouldn't allow. More chores around the house, make the beds, make dinner and oh, lift the bucket of shit out to the garden.
@jbadal1 wtf is wrong with some people, its a COMPOSTING toilet. ok? the shit naturally breaks down thanks to the effects of NATURE. it is no longer SHIT once it has decomposed. its turned into a natural SOIL. so no, you saying Health Dept wouldnt allow is wrong. im pretty sure they would know how a fucking composting toilet would work and that the shit is no longer an issue onces it has decomposed, geez some people really have no fucking idea...
@jbadal1 'lift the bucket of shit out to the garden' - no, you mean 'lift the bucket of NATURALLY BROKEN DOWN HUMAN WASTE WHICH HAS TURNED INTO A NATURAL SOIL into the garden to help the plants grow thanks too the many, many nutrients inside...
@timtam20292 - yeah plus anyway - the main gripe would be if you can see or smell the kak when you 'flush' it - which needn't be a concern since we do have such things as valve-type 'flushes' - I'd recommend those anyway as the last thing you want if you dropped something down the pan by accident is trying to retrieve it from loads of shit, instead of just your own. Use what aeroplane toilets use - type of vacuum or valve flush.
congradulations! I don't see why people like to criticize every little detail. I built waterless toilets here in Mexico (totally different). But the botton line is that people like us are actually DOING someting. Thank you!
@pitajames Pathogens are where the manure sits, but also in the same spot are the thermophillic bacteria, which kills the pathogens.. No need for much turning, But It requires calculation and materials such as greens and browns, to cover and mix the manure. There are many good books, and web site describing the process. It is the most ideal way of composting of any manure.
Must agree with zenjirou, better in the open air as per The Humanure Handbook by J Jenkins, much quicker turnover and higher mass means higher temps to kill any pathogens, and you only need to use one bucket!!
Very interesting. Do the worms crawl up the toilet sides? Would you use the fertilizer on lower plants like lettuce?
You should also collect the wee. In a day, there are as many nutrients in wee as there are in poo, and you can use it straight away. It would also prevent pollution from leaching into the ground.
@Favel22 hey, the leaching from a latrine is huge, almost 20 metres around the pit which leaks into groundwater etc. it also stinks because of the open air and animals can easily get into it. you should take a glance at The Humanure Handbook on scribd.com, it explains alot of those issues with great scientific details. the clip here she is composting the matter individually, you can simply place it in your normal compost easily and save on buckets:)
Oooooh shit nigga what the fuck nigga? This Muhh Fucka crazy! Are you seein the same shit im seein ray ray!?Lets get the fuck outta this bitch for the cops come"
Not to mention the fact that the heat from a properly managed compost can kill a great host of pathogens; has anyone asked the question of how long they can survive outside their host? Are they able to prosper after so much time? Also, one should find out what the acceptable levels are for a particular pathogen/pollutant. Then, one should research all of the products they utilize that may contain these same "acceptable" levels.
My thing is is that is it really an organic way of doing this and safe? The reason I'm saying this is the foods we eat in our body are made up of really horrible chemicals we have eatin from our grocery store and natural chemicals from our body added to those digested chemicals sounds like a bad combination.
they are kiwis actually, lol. awesome stuff, very interesting. As terrestrial beings our waste doesnt belong in the ocean or a pond. i think this system is great, a very helpful video about the process:) thanks for putting it up
@dgbregman no I responded that way because I was trying to help you but all I got was attitude. You obviously havn't done any research on using dog manure because nobody with half a brain would use it for composte.
@dgbregman however if you enjoy playing around in E. coli, giardia, fecal coliform bacteria, giardia and salmonella etc. etc. then go right ahead and use all the dog poo you can find.
When you eat alkaline organic diet, your own shit will be the best compost shit in the world! the most precious element to produces food garden forests as never seen before!
@alzathoth yes... in my city, they pumps all the treated sludge to a composting facility. they combine that with all the yard waste collected and sell it as compost. It is an EXCELLENT product, (very black) ii'll post videos. the city HAD to make the compost facility, AND man made wet lands, because our river was getting WAY to much nitrogen. With those 2 projects they reduced the nitrogen input by 95%. along with several cities up stream. google goldsboro NC compost facility
good point Salt sea, she says the pee drips out, the urine is why it smell, it drips through into a lower bucket which has saw dust and she mulches it out- after how long? Does it stop smelling?
I am interested in the pee collector too. Surely this will contain pathogens worm eggs to some degree.
I am also intrested in the possible leakage from the solids bucket as it is transfered from the toilet site to the composting site. Pedantic i know but this is a serious business.
Possible solution: to encougage toliet users to pee in woodchip urinal and poo in unholed bucket. Any accidential urine inclusion can be absorbed by woodchips. Holes in top of bucket for composting process.
What happens to the "sawdust filled bucket out the back" where all the fluids are drained? I imagine this bucket would fill regularly and need to be disposed of in some specific manner.
All of these people saying that this is gross to use as fertilizer probably smoke too... If you only knew how half of the things you consume actually were made, you would never eat or drink anything again...
@GRIM2594 - they're so f-ing stupid if they think it's gross to compost waste - out of sight and smell, and without any pollution coming from it being dumped into the sea etc. They probably eat fish and go swimming or paddling in the seas where sewage is dumped into.
What could be more gross than having shit and piss flying through pipes in buildings & underfoot. They should be forced to make all that see-through, then we'll see who is disguisting. It's the current system that is disguisting.
Umm if it comes from your body in the first place. Is set in the compost for a year. Then fed to your plants and then they might have those back in them and then you eat it and die because of it? I'm sorry but seems a bit far fetched!
The black chimney is key to making this system aerobic. There has to be a system of pipes (pvc with holes drilled in it) inside the toilet, connected to the black pipe (which must extend above the out-house). The sun heats the black pipe causing air to rise thus drawing in air from below, which in turn provides O2 to the bacteria. Getting it to go aerobic is key.
There are much better ways of doing this. If composted in open air, aerobically, it will thermophilicly compost, reaching high temps and killing all pathogens.
Would be inert and ready in a couple months, rather than a year.
I have no idea why people think this is gross. It's a fantastic way to use a renewable resource. There is already an organic fertilizer on the market called "Milorganite" which is granulated human sewage sludge, and I have to say, it's the best fertilizer I have EVER used.
This is no different than using composted animal manure in the garden. Why waste this compost? It's fantastic! The plants testify to it! Look how lush and healthy they look.
If you like that stuff, you should get it fresh, when it is still very bioactive. Wastewater treatment plants use microbes in a series of pools, to filter and degrade the organic matter in sewage. The result is basically the finest composted matter on the planet. Most have a loading area where people can come take as much as they want for free.
It's a much more complete decomposition process than this system. Of course heavy metals won't decompose, but I know little about the medications. They do test for certain metals at the facilities.
this video is about a composting toilet system...I am building one just like it...the stuff goes to a composting area, and it travels from the first section to the last in 3 years...that destroys all the patogenic agents, degrades them...and the compost can be used for around trees and for pots...just fine...safe.
Holly crap !!! Whats with all the hate?...lol. I got 6 negative thumbs down on my last comment , just because I would never use my own shit to grow my veggies? ...lol.?
It might be okay for some to do this, but Im just saying this is not for me. Thats all. No need to burry me with it...hehe. Peace. :)
In many other countries, they use animal (usually cow or pig) urine, fermented, and then sprayed on crops. It's an amazing source of nutrients. Why would human urine/excrement be "so much grosser"? Do we think cows and pigs are cleaner than us? Or is it that Doritos broken down into feces is not appropriate for putting on your garden?
yeah, alot of ppl. here in mexico are worried about eatin' veggies watered with treated sewer water,....cause they might get an infection or something but the plant drinks the water and in the process of growin' all toxins not needed by the plant are left in the soil,...or i am wrong?=P
yes.. things like lettuce and spinach are actually in contact with the patogens, even tomatoes, etc...
Sewage must be treated...there are natural ways of getting the patogens out..
..population should be intent on ts decrease in MX and elsewhere...otherwise these problems are likely to get worse, specially around metropolitan areas.
I plan on using it for decorative trees and bushes...will use mostly sawdust...not in my vegetable beds...those will be raised, made of brick, and using no-till, heavily mulched, fukuoka techniques...none of that compost.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah baby, thats right. Lets all pee on our roses & pour our shit on our tomato plants. A very higienic way to get rid of the highly hazardous & full of germs human shit.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I said; "Yeah baby, thats right. Lets all pee on our roses & pour our shit on our tomato plants. A very higienic way to get rid of the highly hazardous & full of germs human shit. Whats next? Lets all cum on our veggies?"
Okay, maybe I was a little off on the "cumming on our veggies" part. Sorry about that. It was meant to be a sarcastic thing not an offensive one.
I just dont think its a good to grow food in a garden with human feces. To me it is disgusting to grow tomatoes ala shit.
I really want to know what happens to the urine? Is there a separate container collecting it? I understand why they let it drain to keep down the smell. I think about the fact that animals poo and pee on the ground all the time. The ground acts as a filter for their urine and poo just decomposes. But who wants to smell urine around their house, so what happened to the urine.
As far as I've seen in various systems (dairy, etc), if there is enough low-nitrogen stuff (paper, sawdust, manure) it combines well with the urine during composting and reduces smell to nearly nothing. It does depend on correct ratios (I suppose one could gradually learn and adjust over a few months) and on enough O2.
There are a number of commercial units widely available, and DIY plans are common. For other small scale systems of human waste handling, and outdoor ('Outhouse' or 'Dunny') styles of toilets, research latrine, pit latrine, and arborloo or tree bog, all of which are forms of less controlled psychrophilic or mesophilic decomposition, and may not protect ground water from nutrient or pathogen contamination, provide optimum nutrient recycling, or be appropriate in urban settings.
A composting toilet is a closed unit, not connected to a sewage system or septic tank, used to receive, contain, and compost human waste via aerobic biodegradation. In replacing a standard flush toilet the purpose of these units is the conservation of water resources otherwise used for flushing, while avoiding release of potentially pathogenic materials into the environment, and conserving useful nutrients for fertilizing home gardens.
Mind you; I personally wouldn't put holes in the bottom of the barrells as any pathogens would get drained out of the compost (and into the water-table) before they die out.
I put the human "disgust " of what we produce as "shit" as one of our major problems to deal with.
It has created a cleaner than thou mentality...hence all our products to kill 99% of all known germs. We need to be less anal retentive and start being productive... it will save you a fortune in fertilizers, and "bought" shit.
what do you mean 'it is amazing what the mind will come up with to recycle things'. this is the normal cycle of things... it is amazing that people poo into water which then needs to be clearified to be (in some cases) drunk afterwards.
I have seen it all now. Not sure how I feel about it but I have mixed feelings. I would have to wrap my mind around composting my own poop to put around my fruit trees. It is amazing what the mind of man will come up with to recycle things.
it is amazing the systems humans have come up with to deal with their poop. We should be taking care of our personal poop rather than passing the buck like most of us do - and it ends up not being dealt with very responsibly in the end! This is important! we must deal with our poop or soon it will be the only thing we have!!
It's great to hear most people that comment see the good in this. I agree that urine doesn't need to be separate. Of course, I also read the humanure handbook. Jenkins has a YouTube page with a bunch of stuff on it.
I've been reading about composting toilets, but this is the first video of a complete, working system I've seen.
So holes are drilled in the bottom of each barrel and the liquid drains out to where? All over the floor in the composting bathroom and all over the ground when the barrel is full and placed outside?
That can't be right, can it? If so, the liquid would become a home and ground pollutant because it was never allowed to compost. Can someone clarify this for me. Thanks.
it's only a treasure for plants after the bacteria (pathogens) have died off. otherwise, if you put raw sewage on your plants, they will carry those pathogens (salmonella, ecoli, hepatitis...) and you can't just wash it off.
These guys do things really weirdly. Don't use them as an example. Get the humanure handbook and read it cover to cover. Urine + Feces do not have to be seperated. All you have to do is balance the C and N by adding sawdust, yard waste and some straw as cover material in a compost pile. 1-2 buckets is all a family of 5 needs. Plus, of course, two compost piles.
modern sewage systems, (septic, sewers, etc) are VERY unclean to our environment as they are filled with standing water and foster VERY harmful gases and toxic waste. Think about it this way - ALL natural waste should be allowed to re-nurish the earth from which our food comes.
The fact that there is such a vast array of composting toilet systems is a testament to how easily and safely done it can be, how natural it is, and that we need to get over our cultural phobias and start doing what is right and follows common sense. I would refer those interested in composting toilets to look into a book called "The Humanure Handbook". It is very well written and has an enormous amount of USEABLE information. Good fortune
"Experts" still recommend not using even this compost directly on plants or on soil growing root crops, but this is mainly done out of convention rather than objective risk assesment. In most cases 2 years is much more extreme than nessecary. Perinnial above ground crops, such as berry bushes and fruit and nut trees, amoung many others are completely without risk of carrying pathogens as they never come in contact with them.
I've never been cool with this! It just seems gross & unsanitary.

@alzathoth yes... in my city, they pumps all the treated sludge to a composting facility. they combine that with all the yard waste collected and sell it as compost. It is an EXCELLENT product, (very black) ii'll post videos. the city HAD to make the compost facility, AND man made wet lands, because our river was getting WAY to much nitrogen. With those 2 projects they reduced the nitrogen input by 95%. along with several cities up stream. google goldsboro NC compost facility

good point Salt sea, she says the pee drips out, the urine is why it smell, it drips through into a lower bucket which has saw dust and she mulches it out- after how long? Does it stop smelling?
exclamation3mark 1 year ago
I am interested in the pee collector too. Surely this will contain pathogens worm eggs to some degree.
I am also intrested in the possible leakage from the solids bucket as it is transfered from the toilet site to the composting site. Pedantic i know but this is a serious business.
Possible solution: to encougage toliet users to pee in woodchip urinal and poo in unholed bucket. Any accidential urine inclusion can be absorbed by woodchips. Holes in top of bucket for composting process.

What could be more gross than having shit and piss flying through pipes in buildings & underfoot. They should be forced to make all that see-through, then we'll see who is disguisting. It's the current system that is disguisting.

The black chimney is key to making this system aerobic. There has to be a system of pipes (pvc with holes drilled in it) inside the toilet, connected to the black pipe (which must extend above the out-house). The sun heats the black pipe causing air to rise thus drawing in air from below, which in turn provides O2 to the bacteria. Getting it to go aerobic is key.
KnightBiologist 2 years ago
There are much better ways of doing this. If composted in open air, aerobically, it will thermophilicly compost, reaching high temps and killing all pathogens.
Would be inert and ready in a couple months, rather than a year.

@zenjirou This composting wouldn't occur in the absence of oxygen, so in effect, it is being aerobically broken down.

I have no idea why people think this is gross. It's a fantastic way to use a renewable resource. There is already an organic fertilizer on the market called "Milorganite" which is granulated human sewage sludge, and I have to say, it's the best fertilizer I have EVER used.
This is no different than using composted animal manure in the garden. Why waste this compost? It's fantastic! The plants testify to it! Look how lush and healthy they look.
EbolaV1rus 2 years ago 2
If you like that stuff, you should get it fresh, when it is still very bioactive. Wastewater treatment plants use microbes in a series of pools, to filter and degrade the organic matter in sewage. The result is basically the finest composted matter on the planet. Most have a loading area where people can come take as much as they want for free.

In many other countries, they use animal (usually cow or pig) urine, fermented, and then sprayed on crops. It's an amazing source of nutrients. Why would human urine/excrement be "so much grosser"? Do we think cows and pigs are cleaner than us? Or is it that Doritos broken down into feces is not appropriate for putting on your garden?

When it is properly handled pathogens cannot transfer. Compost typically is working at high temperatures, therefor, killing any bad micro-organisms.

If you simply put human crap in your garden it will only cause problems and be gross.
There's a proper set of steps for it to be good.
You have to let it change and rot. To let it turn into nutrient rich soil which takes quite a bit of time.
You do that before using it in your garden.

I really want to know what happens to the urine? Is there a separate container collecting it? I understand why they let it drain to keep down the smell. I think about the fact that animals poo and pee on the ground all the time. The ground acts as a filter for their urine and poo just decomposes. But who wants to smell urine around their house, so what happened to the urine.
vbirdieb 2 years ago
@vbirdieb
As far as I've seen in various systems (dairy, etc), if there is enough low-nitrogen stuff (paper, sawdust, manure) it combines well with the urine during composting and reduces smell to nearly nothing. It does depend on correct ratios (I suppose one could gradually learn and adjust over a few months) and on enough O2.

There are a number of commercial units widely available, and DIY plans are common. For other small scale systems of human waste handling, and outdoor ('Outhouse' or 'Dunny') styles of toilets, research latrine, pit latrine, and arborloo or tree bog, all of which are forms of less controlled psychrophilic or mesophilic decomposition, and may not protect ground water from nutrient or pathogen contamination, provide optimum nutrient recycling, or be appropriate in urban settings.
Hosea22 2 years ago
A composting toilet is a closed unit, not connected to a sewage system or septic tank, used to receive, contain, and compost human waste via aerobic biodegradation. In replacing a standard flush toilet the purpose of these units is the conservation of water resources otherwise used for flushing, while avoiding release of potentially pathogenic materials into the environment, and conserving useful nutrients for fertilizing home gardens.

I've been reading about composting toilets, but this is the first video of a complete, working system I've seen.
So holes are drilled in the bottom of each barrel and the liquid drains out to where? All over the floor in the composting bathroom and all over the ground when the barrel is full and placed outside?
That can't be right, can it? If so, the liquid would become a home and ground pollutant because it was never allowed to compost. Can someone clarify this for me. Thanks.

it's only a treasure for plants after the bacteria (pathogens) have died off. otherwise, if you put raw sewage on your plants, they will carry those pathogens (salmonella, ecoli, hepatitis...) and you can't just wash it off.
immayhem 3 years ago 5
These guys do things really weirdly. Don't use them as an example. Get the humanure handbook and read it cover to cover. Urine + Feces do not have to be seperated. All you have to do is balance the C and N by adding sawdust, yard waste and some straw as cover material in a compost pile. 1-2 buckets is all a family of 5 needs. Plus, of course, two compost piles.

The fact that there is such a vast array of composting toilet systems is a testament to how easily and safely done it can be, how natural it is, and that we need to get over our cultural phobias and start doing what is right and follows common sense. I would refer those interested in composting toilets to look into a book called "The Humanure Handbook". It is very well written and has an enormous amount of USEABLE information. Good fortune

"Experts" still recommend not using even this compost directly on plants or on soil growing root crops, but this is mainly done out of convention rather than objective risk assesment. In most cases 2 years is much more extreme than nessecary. Perinnial above ground crops, such as berry bushes and fruit and nut trees, amoung many others are completely without risk of carrying pathogens as they never come in contact with them.
