A simple, hygienic composting toilet system that manages human waste on site without using water.
http://www.nature-loo.com.au/
It's the best selling domestic composting toilet in Australia !!! Infact............ we beat the competition pants down !!!!

    Composting toilets
    W ater is the most important thing on earth. When you use it to flush toilets, you contaminate not only the water used for the flush, but also ground water reserves, rivers, lakes and oceans. All at vast economic as well as environmental cost. Now, there's a better way. The revolutionary Nature-Loo system is a genuine breakthrough. It's smaller and easier to maintain than any comparable composting toilet and has the unique advantage of unlimited capacity. Amazingly, it's also about the cheapest toilet system you can buy. By installing a Nature-Loo, you save water and you save money. And every time you go to the toilet, you'll be doing something good for the earth. N ature-Loo is a simple, hygienic composting toilet system that manages human waste on site without using water. It looks good, it doesn't smell and it involves so little maintenance you hardly know it's there.

Why Make Compost?
Compost is one of nature's best mulches and soil amendments, and you can use it instead of commercial fertilizers. Best of all, compost is cheap. You can make it without spending a cent. Using compost improves soil structure, texture, and aeration and increases the soil's water-holding capacity. Compost loosens clay soils and helps sandy soils retain water. Adding compost improves soil fertility and stimulates healthy root development in plants. The organic matter provided in compost provides food for microorganisms, which keeps the soil in a healthy, balanced condition. Nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus will be produced naturally by the feeding of microorganisms, so few if any soil amendments will need to be added. Most gardeners have long understood the value of this rich, dark, earthy material in improving the soil and creating a healthful environment for plants. Understanding how to make and use compost is in the public interest, as the problem of waste disposal climbs toward a crisis level. Landfills are brimming, and new sites are not likely to be easily found. For this reason there is an interest in conserving existing landfill space and in developing alternative methods of dealing with waste. Don't throw away materials when you can use them to improve your lawn and garden! Start composting instead.

    Experienced gardeners know that tending the quality of garden soil is the first rule of successful growing. Get acquainted with the texture and type of the soil and observe drainage patterns. Develop a routine of adding organic materials to the garden regularly. Many materials, including fallen leaves, leaf mold, home grown compost, shredded newspaper, green cover crops, bark, sawdust, and purchased compost will improve soil. Dig these materials in when preparing a new garden, and use them as mulch. Making compost is a great place to begin stewardship gardening. and can range from backyard composting of green matter from the landscape and garden to composting with worms to reduce the volume of household waste. Additional composting information is also available through the manure exchange program - a network that moves valuable organic material from farms to small gardens to protect valuable groundwater resources.

Vermicomposting
Organic materials make up approximately two-thirds of the waste stream. While much of this is paper which can be used more efficiently or recycled, a large portion is material like food waste for which few beneficial options outside of composting exist. Fortunately, nature has provided one option that has been receiving increasing attentionvermicomposting. So what, you may ask, is vermicomposting and how does it work? Well, "vermi" is the Latin word for worm, and worms like to feed on slowly decomposing organic materials (e.g., vegetable scraps). The "end" product, called castings, is full of beneficial microbes and nutrients, and makes a great plant fertilizer. So, vermicomposting is the practice of using worms to make compost simply by feeding them your food waste. The reason vermicomposting is becoming popular is because worms are very efficient eating machines. They eat over half their body weight in organic matter per day! There are vermicomposting businesses in California making compost from the food waste they receive from restaurants and other industries. But you don't need to try and find a large facility to take your food waste when you can vermicompost at home, at school, and even at the office.

Gardeners have long made and used compost because of the way it improves garden soil. Today, we also compost plant and vegetable matter because it is an important way to reduce the amount of waste that is burned or dumped in landfills. Yard wastes and vegetable scraps can make up as much as 20% of our household garbage. Composting effectively recycles that waste. Composting and the environment Backyard composting reduces the flow of wastes to landfills or bum piles, and produces valuable organic matter for the soil at the same time. Composting does all this using a process fueled by the solar energy captured in plant tissue. These benefits are the same whether we compost in carefully tended hot piles, or in neglected slow piles. Backyard composting is a simple, yet important way to improve our communities and the environment.

List of files and visuals associated with this text.
Composting of yard wastes such as leaves, grass
clippings, dead garden plants and hedge trimmings, along
with kitchen scraps, is popular with home gardeners who
long ago discovered the benefits of the dark, rich,
sweet-smelling, earthy end product called humus.
Benefits of composting
In about as much time as it takes to burn or bag yard
debris for disposal, you can prepare these same materials
for composting and use them as a soil conditioner. Home composters can use humus to lighten heavy, clay soils or enrich sandy soils to improve water-holding capacity. Plants grow well in well-drained soils that hold some moisture and the result should be a healthy, vigorous garden. Understanding and assisting the compost process Heaping organic materials into a pile generates heat through the activity of the microorganisms. This heat encourages activity of other microorganisms which speeds up the composting process. High temperatures also help

Introduction
Current methods for the disposal of poultry carcasses include hauling to a rendering plant, incineration, burial, or composting. Rendering plants are rapidly decreasing in number and of those that remain, many do not want to process poultry mortality. Unless proper equipment is used, incineration may cause air pollution. The fuel requirement for incineration is expensive also. Disposing of carcasses in the ground can result in water pollution. Composting therefore, appears to be the logical solution for many poultry operations.
Composting
Composting of dead poultry became popular in l988 when Dr. Dennis Murphy of the University of Maryland developed a successful method which utilized dead birds, straw, and litter. Composting is a natural process where beneficial bacteria and fungi, convert organic material - in this case, poultry carcasses -into a useful end product called compost. Dr. Murphy and others have demonstrated that composting will work during all seasons of the year. No offensive odor is created if properly done and the end product is safe and can be used as a fertilizer.
The Composter
The size of the composter is based on the size of the poultry operation. For every one pound of dead poultry, one cubic foot of primary compost space is needed. An equal amount of space is required for the secondary composter. Additional space should be provided for bulking agents and other material to be used in the primary compost and storage of the composted mixture until it can be hauled to the field. Figures 1A and 1B show plans for an ideal compost facility. Other designs which accomplish the same criteria are acceptable. The poultry mortality composter consists of various size bins with a roof overhead. The bins set on a concrete slab. The roof is needed to help maintain the desired moisture content of the compost. The concrete slab is needed to prevent possible leaching of nutrients from the compost into the soil, to prevent rodents from burrowing under the compost and to facilitate cleaning of the unit.
