Why a Nature Head compost toilet?

It was a good brand that had past history experience throughout the tiny house industry. So rather than take a chance on something new or a newer company I went with something I knew would work. I would hate to have spent a thousand plus dollars on a compost toilet and end up still being able to smell the poop. You may not have much past history with a compost toilet unless you use some sketchy park system outhouses, which coming from a guy that finds walking through the woods fun , they aren't that bad to me. You can still hesitate to ask pertinent questions for that unavoidable squeamish feeling, which often kick in when you discuss poop. While it is understandable, you may want to learn about compost toilets to make your life easy, here are 20 most asked questions about the compost toilet system that can hopefully solve your confusion.

Common questions about the compost toilet

How does a compost toilet work?

It is a waterless fixture that transforms human waste into compost dirt. You can use it like the regular flush toilet. The only thing is it will store your waste, which you would have to spin from time to time to help the composting process begin and break it down. It works like a garden compost but instead, the goal is to keep moisture out so it diverts your poop and pee into two separate containers. However, you will have to add materials to the composting chamber to eliminate the odor and ensure a faster-composting cycle. These materials can be anything from popcorn, peat moss to sawdust. I use coconut shavings after learning it at a tiny house festival from another tiny house dweller named Andrea Burns. The way my body works, I have to change this every 4-5 months and I put it in a separate compost bin to compost for an additional 6 months until I will use it for mulch for the yard or fruit trees. For my pee, I empty about once a week and use that around the yard. Note: If you think it's gross I use pee around the yard or even if I pee around the yard, what do you think the animals do… also it's my yard so I can claim it like a dog if I want.

Can a composting toilet system stink up your house?

The mystery around this toilet system due to the lack of much information makes people doubt its performance and think it's gross. They feel the compost toilet for the house may not be a great solution as it can create a bad smell. But it is not true in today's systems even in tiny homes. Even if there is little odor, it can resemble the smell of mulch or wood. But with my Nature Head compost toilet, it has no smell and achieves that by having a fan inside that used to push the odor and fumes through a pipe and then out to the house. It's essentially like a exhaust and the fan helps with smells and breaking the compost material down faster. There are also seals around the whole toilet to make it more airtight.
