OK...there are some things I do not understand about composting toilets. Hopefully one of you composting guys can clear it up. How long does it take to compost the poo?
What I mean is this.....regardless of the make/model or whatever of the toilet system....if the crapper is used every weekend or even every other weekend there is a constant stream (no pun attended) of new waste being added. ( I guess I am looking at it from the angle of owning a commercial model, Sun-mar, Biolet, etc.) If all the waste goes into the same holding tank you may have waste that is 10 weeks old then also the fresh contribution you made from the current weekend. So how does it, (the fresh stuff) compost? I can understand that if 4 weeks worth of waste were put into a bucket, consistently stirred, and left to compost for a few months......the composting process would happen. How does composting happen when fresh poo is always being introduced?
Maybe I am not saying it right.....Basically...... if you're constantly adding fresh poo say every weekend how are things supposed to breakdown and compost?
