COMPOSTING PRIVY

by Harlan H.D. ATTFIELD

Illustrated by Marine F. Maspero

The composting privy described here consists of a covered pit and a shelter. When the pit is full, the shelter is taken down, the pit
covered, and a new pit prepared. The first pit, after an interval of at least six months, yields compost that can be used to fertilize
fields.

This Bulletin gives guidelines for digging the pit, preparing the floor, building the shelter, adding other composting materials, and
moving locations when the pit is full. Although prepared for use in Bangladesh, this privy could be constructed anywhere in the world.
It is low in cost, easy to build, and requires no special materials. It can be designed to meet a number of cultural requirements. --- CONTINUED at link, above ---

If you're establishing a homestead in a remote area, building an outhouse is something you'll probably want to do in short order. A properly managed privy is at least as healthful for people and land as a septic system.

One of the very first and most important buildings needed on a remote homestead is a privy, which isn't as complicated to construct and maintain as you might have imagined. Both the surface privy and the pit outhouse are simple, straightforward, and easy to understand. As long as you follow some general rules for building an outhouse, you can hardly go wrong modifying either type to suit your own particular materials, skill, or location.

A properly managed privy is at least as healthful for people and land as a septic system and is far more than a place to evacuate waste ---CONTINUED at LINK, above---
