I just don't think I can... Keep in mind we have a family of 5!!
Ok ladies! Let me have it straight! The good, bad, and ugly of composting toilets if you have/ had one! I am talking about in your house, purchased composting toilets. GO!

Well, this is a bit late but I'll bite. :)
We have an outhouse so a composting toilet would be a definite step up. I used to stay at a cabin in Maine that had one and it wasn't bad at all. No smell. Look down the hole and all you see is a bit of sawdust-looking material. I never had to empty it but I am willing to bet it is a bit less gross than taking the sh*t shovel we use to move the poo around and settle down further in our outhouse hole.
It's amazing what can become normal. :)
If your dream doesn't scare you to death......it's not big enough.

I want one so bad, but DH just thinks it's disgusting. Would love to hear others continue to chime in....

The goat farm we volunteered on in South Carolina had one and I loved it!! She kept toilet paper in a coffee can with a lid to keep in clean, and a bucket was in there with lots of leaves when you were done, to cover it with. She used it primarily for her farm tours... But one day I would love to have one! We don't have any trees, so I'm not sure how that aspect would work...
