You actually are supposed to let the tray sit for a week or two before removing...

you know how fucking nasty that toilet would smell with no water to flush it? I can just imagine eating going after i ate a huge bean burrito.

It's more natural to compost and then bury waste instead of using precious water to flush it into our rivers and oceans along with the chemicals used to treat it. I cannot see how the felt seat cover is sanitary. Toilet seats are a hard nonporous surface, easy to wipe clean. Fabric, or in this case felt, can soak up bits and splashes of waste, holding on to it until its tossed into a washing machine. Who would want to sit on that, or have the job of washing the seat cover for that matter?!

I have the same toilet. My manual says to rotate it more frequently than once a month, like every three days. I have a problem with clumping. I keep the compost moist by adding water everyday (I don't usually pee in it) and I keep the toilet warm, above 60. Maybe the clumping is from rotating too often or maybe it's the compost material. I add sunmars' peat and wood chips mix. I haven't seen the hemp. Any input?

Clumping probably does come from rotating too often. The hemp mix was available from the Sun Mar web site.

maybe its because of the wood chips, try saw dust, I would also try pine needles. Not sure where ur from but you can get saw dust usually for free from saw mills or furniture companies. Pine needles u just go out and collect, u can also add grass clippings if you mow your lawn. just dont put too much in. a handful every time you do your duty is enough. Dont understand why you dont pee in it?
