Love the blog and can’t wait to see what you think of everything the longer you’re there. No ideas for you on the soy sauce front, as I am currently married to someone who puts soy sauce on SALAD because he likes the salt so much. All that local organic produce– ruined if you ask me. Tsk tsk. Anyway I have a request for a blog topic if you don’t mind– I want to know all the details on what it’s like to shit in biodegradable toilets or whatever you called them. Love ya!

I’ve used the toilets before and it’s pretty much just like using an outhouse. The idea is that there’s a bucket (under a frame and a toilet seat) and a few inches of cedar mulch in the bottom of the bucket. When someone takes care of business, they take a cupful of mulch and cover up said business. This goes on until the bucket is pretty full. The cedar smell really covers up any odor. I haven’t been on doodie duty yet. That person has to take the bucket to the special “humanure” compost bin. Unlike other compost piles, this one marinates for a couple of years.
