It looks nothing like the ones I've seen over here in the US. I loved what you said here: "Conventional toilets are such an expected and ordinary part of life in the West that it’s no wonder we seldom question the logic of defecating into gallons of precious drinking water every day. We should." Truer words have never been spoken. Thanks for the great link! Readers, please go check out Michele's blog, A House Called Nut (www.ahousecallednut.com). It's very refreshing, and there are wonderful pictures up on each post. Michele,

Here's the permalink to the post: http://www.ahousecallednut.com/a_house_called_nut/2009/04/we-have-a-composting-toilet.html I really believe that composting toilets are the way forward and I'm always very happy to hear from you or any one else who would like to discuss them. It's wonderful that you'd like to get one for your future home. Have you given much thought to the type of system you'll install? Looking forward to hearing more! Hi again Heather!

I've fallen in love with the whole idea of composting toilets, and would love to see what it's like to actually empty one. I would definitely re-link back to the article from this one to give readers that additional resource to see. I love your blog btw; you have some great pics up! Thanks so much for writing in.

It's a custom-made system, very easy to use and completely odorless. I wasn't terribly excited about the prospect at the beginning, but the house I recently moved to came with this toilet, so there wasn't much choice. I'm now a total convert and would really recommend giving them a try. Heather, I'm planning to blog post about our composting toilet experience soon (including the actual composting part--next time we empty it) and I'd love to link to this article. It's really informative and I think you've done a great job covering the essentials. Eileen, I'm not sure if you can use peat moss or not (I agree you should ask the manufacturer), but peat moss is not the most environmentally sound of materials, so you might want to avoid using it even if you can.

Have you tried asking the company? They might automatically say you have to buy theirs, just so they make money, but being a green company they might tell the truth. You never know! Good luck!

I have a Sun Mar, and the price to have the mix sent is $15.00s&h, above the cost of the mix. So I thought perhaps I could just purchase peat moss from a local greenery. Is it the same kind of stuff? any help is appreciated. I have searched endlessly online for this question, but no answer as of yet.
