So pretty. I just watched a video about a simple composting toilet called the humus toilet and am convinced this is the method to use when I build my off grid home What do you think?

Thanks for the link. I think I’ll post this story on our blog tomorrow.
So yes, you can use humus if you have it, however many people do not. That’s why many use sawdust, pine needles or even soil. Humus has the most bacteria so it would probably work the fastest.
