Anyone tried a kildwick compost loo?

Perhaps we should start a thread about anaerobic digestion and onboard methane production for the ultimate in recycling.

Nah, someone will pooh pooh the idea!

It only goes to show that Poo is really brown wee with a bit of solids added

The boat next door to me ( you know who you are )  has a composting bog. Every couple of days he walks round to the elsan point or moors his boat across next to it here and empties a largish bottle of pee into it. So why the hell not just do the same with a cassette and its gone end of? or is it considered kinky today to get rid of pee in the elsan but hang on to your poo?

This, indeed, is the burning question. At least it will be once all that methane sets alight .............

I don't have a composting bog. However, as the only Shit Disposal Operative on our boat I can say that I would happily take a cassette (or other container) to the elsan a couple of times a day if all it contained was the yellow stuff.

It's the lumpy stuff that makes the job disgusting, especially so when it causes splashback.

I'd happily have a composter to avoid that but, unfortunately, the boss, she say no.

A very wise lady in my humble opinion

Mine was also very difficult to convince before we tried it, but now she wouldn't go back to the old days of pongs and blockages. 

I do struggle to believe that those who are so very opposed to composting have actually tried it for themselves and enjoyed the benefits.

She might well take a different view if she was also a PDO (Poo Disposal Operative, as I would call her) but unfortunately she is not up to it. Even if she was, I doubt she would be up for it as one of the conditions for boat buying was that there would only be one of these. And it would not be her.

She is indeed a wise lady.

Seriously though, my wife has taken to bringing her friends aboard to see our set-up and challenges them to have a good sniff, confident that the air is pure. Odd I know, but she has already scored a few converts!

For a minute I read it as you saying: "........... and challenges them to have a good sh1t," (but then its very easy to read what you're expecting to read!)

Yes but what exactly is your point. We've agreed some people never do anything right. So............. What..............? Conclusion.............?

This thread is set to run and run. Keeps everyone happy, the composters get to promote their wares, they are happy, the usual shit stirrers get to whinge, whine and be negative, they are happy too!

The mods should be on overtime monitoring this thread, time and a turd.

I think you'll find that if the Composters are doing it properly they stir more shit, more often than almost anyone else
