Making a Compost Toilet For My Off-grid Cabin

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I show how I built an outhouse and a compost toilet (with urine diverter) for my off-grid guest cabin by using reclaimed materials and sustainable building methods like burnt wood. I also show and talk about how the toilet works in terms of composting the manure.

    I er bestemt ikke glemt - og jeg er meget glad for at du stadig følger med! Men det er fordi, jeg ikke lige kan finde ud af, hvordan jeg får det slået til. Måske man ikke kan, og så må jeg finde ud af at skrive dem ind manuelt. Det er nok lige en aftens ekstra arbejde oven i en forvejen tidskrævende produktion, men det er jo ikke umuligt (da folk også efterspørger engelske. Undertekster)! Jeg vil helt sikkert gøre, hvad jeg kan😊

    @@ErnestoSun Thanks for the advice! And it sounds like a good solution. But unfortunately we cannot legally dig a hole in the ground because of the risk of polluting ground water. And I really am in no contact with the stuff in the bucket when I empty it. It’s really pretty easy👌
