I'll definitely be using elements of this setup on the homestead, much appreciated! My understanding is that human waste compost is safe after 3-5 years. So it's safe to use but only with a much longer time frame than typical compost. In fact many store bought composts include composted material from city sewer systems. They label it "municipal biological solids" or other innocuous-sounding terms.

Thank you for your comments, I think with experiance that three to five years is an appropriate time frame to be sure it is fully composted. Best wishes, Anthony.

Lovely explanation, thank you. The beauty of pine pellets (as opposed to ash) is that it can soak up any fluid that does get in there, and there's always a little of that, without any odor. But then you've got to buy it ($5 for a 100 lb bag) or make your own by plugging and/or grinding pine.

Nice work, thanks for sharing! Just sharing a thought about the bags. While they do break down I think often they degrade into microplastics. That is, oftentimes 'compostible bags' aren't actually decomposing into natural materials. If you care about this, it might be worth thinking of alternatives.

Thank you so much for your great input, you are right, I try to buy the best quality bags I can, I will do more research but the information is difficult, the bags just quote a recognised standard that they adhere to. Best wishes and keep up the good work, Anthony.

Great build. Your comment about the time frame ( a year) to full term the composting process is something most videos never clarifies. I have a commercial made composting toilet I've used for 3 yrs now with no issues. It came with a fan but have not hooked it up as its not needed. Seperating the liquid and solids is what prevents any odor. I use cocoa coir as its more readily available in my area. The water saved is very important as I live in the dry SW of the 🇺🇸. I dearly love your countryside views. Thanks for a Great video. Happy Trails from NM, 🇺🇸

Love this set up. But. Be careful. .. if your greenhouse heater warms the water to between 20 degrees and 45 degrees centigrade you could develop the bacteria called legionella. In commercial systems, they will have a regular cycle where the water will be heated to above 60 degrees to kill the bacteria … We run offices, and we do routine legionella tests on all taps. .. showers are more dangerous as the water will go over the face and could enter the body. Just thought you might want to know. Legionella can make people very unwell and need hospital treatment with antibiotics. One in 10 people who contract it die, so it’s not something to take lightly. All the best.😊 great idea with the wheelie bins by the way. Thanks for sharing

Ive really enjoyed your videos and have subscribed, looking forward to more. Steve, Malvern Hills

Hello Steve, the bags go into a large wheeled bin for a year so I alternate two bins, the bags are compostable. this is important as I have found some do not degrade but others do. I change the bags between each booking so that every customer has a fresh toilet. The urine soak-away needs to be large and flushed with plenty of clean water each changeover! Hundreds of people have used it now so it has been quite successful! Good luck with your project, I wish you every success! Kind regards, Anthony.

One of the best composting toilet/shower set ups I've seen - really well set out and straight forward. Questions (if you don't mind): when you remove the full composting bag and transfer it to the wheelie bin, do you leave the contents in the bag, or do you empty them in to the wheelie bin? If left in the compostable bags, do you tie them off before putting them in the wheelie bin, or do you leave them open? Thanks for sharing.
