The first thing that popped in my head when building an "Off the Grid" home was "What Does a House Need?" and to that the first thing was "The Bathroom" so i Googled what can i do about pooping for free.
Three options came up:
1.
Outhouses
2.
Composting Toilets
3.
Incinerating Toilet
Everyone should know the first one and since i know im not using it im going to not even explain it
COMPOST TOILETS
A composting toilet system converts waste into usable soil and fertilizer, just like a standard compost bin. When used properly, the bio-friendly toilet should be odorless, functional and easy to use. While there are many styles of composting toilets available on the market, you can build your own in an afternoon for less than $25.
Insinorating toilet
Available in both electric and gas powered, these are toilets that burn excrement rather than flushing it. These are seemingly ideal in remote areas, for people who live off the grid and/or have unreliable plumbing. They are available in various sizes and can run on electricity, diesel, propane or natural gas. The diesel versions boast the ability to burn between 1 and 7 gallons of waste an hour. The model you purchase will determine how many gallons can be incinerated. Another of their advantages is that unlike a septic, enzymes are not required to kill bacteria – another euphemism for "Poop".
THE VERDICT: IM GOING WITH COMPOST
its simple its practical and i got an ebook on building on for almost next to nothing from here
P.S. - im not giving up toilet paper so i dont need to look up alternatives for that
