How It Works

This is how my composting toilet works.
It has a regular toilet seat that, when closed, has a lid that has as little of a gap as possible.
Underneath the seat is a five gallon plastic bucket lined with a couple composting bags. The poop drops in and after each use you throw in scoop of drying agent, which for me is a mixture of coconut fiber, sawdust and coffee grounds. You can also throw in other compostable waste. Empty the bag once or twice a week, put it in a double paper bag, and throw it away or put it in a barrel and allow it to fully compost.
The urine diverter (I use Johnny Compost available on eBay) is hooked up to a hose that runs outside and into a flower box where I grow succulents, cat grass and pansies.
I have a funnel set up to use rainwater to help flush out the hose.
I also have the box that the bucket is in vented out through the roof (not shown).
Super simple.
