For those of you who would like to play with it ----- I mean building a composting toilet. Thanks to whoever posted this link elsewhere on the forum -- I noticed it was here with Becky Bee's book.

Humanure Handbook 2nd ed. (which I believe is the one pictured above--version now on sale seems to have a different cover, so it may be a third edition) also available to read on Jenkins' web site.

Thanks for giving us the latest poop on that, Amanda. :D
Guess she knows her...stuff ;D

::)
You know, Daddymem, ---talking about all this crap makes me think about the good ol' days in Oregon, at my grandma and grandpaws place up on the hill. There was a 3 hole outhouse there - always had an old Sears catalogue laying on the seat beside the left hole. I always wondered, what would it be like if 3 people actually showed up. I don't know if we should go there or not. :-/ Seems you would have to make small talk while looking around the room ------
I mean -----what would you say --"Oh, Hi Joe, hows it goin?"
"Well, Mabel, I think everything is going to come out just fine."
"Yeah, Red just popped in here for a minute -- said he had to run."
"Yup, yup , yup--- that Red, he's just like a kid with the diarrhea --always running behind." :-/
Three holes?!?! Well la-de-da, we only had a one hole in my grandparents cabin in NH.
I won't say my grandpaw was loaded but you can tell a bit how flush with money someone is if you count the number of sanitary facilities there are. :-/
At least shall we say that they weren't in the dumper. We'll -at least they had enough to buy a good bogroll. :D
While thinking about that sunroom (http://www.jshow.com/y2k/listings/35.html) and reading this post, I almost want to break into that old song "Oh dear, what could the matter be? Seven old ladies, locked in the lav-a-try"...but I won't...poop, I just did. ::)
Yeah, Daddymem, I actually remember sitting in my outhouse --- before I had walls on it, looking out over the valley below and wailing out the lyrics of The Ode To The Little Brown Shack Out Back (http://realmgantra.ballardsbytes.com/mus/ode.wav) whilst wishing I had the
Little House Plans (http://www.jshow.com/y2k/listings/29.html),
so I could adapt walls to the privy in order to keep my pale white out of the view of curious passersby.
