How to Set Up a Compost Toilet

A no-nonsense guide, whether you're on land or in the suburbs

Twenty years ago, if you'd told me I'd be shitting in a bucket for the rest of my life, I'd have told you that you were talking shit. Turns out, that's exactly what's taking place, and it's one of the best decisions we've made.

This guide walks you through everything: what you need, how to set it up, dry matter ratios, managing the pile, the full composting timeline, and what you can (and can't) use it on. Real steps, real science, zero flush required.

You don't need six acres and an outhouse with a view. You just need this.
