Compost plays a significant role in organizing organic farming, and is also the most affordable, cheap, high-quality, effective and environmentally friendly fertilizer on earth. Composting (or compost ripening) occurs during the process of organic decay, as a result of which organic waste is converted into water vapor, carbon dioxide and humus. The resulting humus is a useful fertilizer for most plants.
Compost toilet - what is it?
The principle of operation of the composted (dry) dry closet is based on the partial or complete processing of waste. A full cycle allows you to get a finished (mature) product. The partial cycle provides this feature: the existing mass from the toilet must be moved to a compost heap or composter for ripening. Mature compost can then be used to fertilize agricultural land.
One person produces about 500 kg of waste per year. Fifty kilograms of this amount is solid waste and 450 kg is liquid. They contain nutrients such as potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus and beneficial trace elements.
A composting
toilet, reviews of which are only positive, serves as an ecological replacement for the usual
toilet (water closet) with its existing sewage system, water supply. In a normal toilet, a considerable amount of tap water is used, the cleaning process of which is very expensive and complicated. A compost toilet such as Kekkila does not require any water to flush the waste and there is no utility bill. It is much easier to install and use than traditional. You can easily install it yourself.
The Biolan Icelett compost toilet is a new model of similar products manufactured by Biolan, it differs from other models in environmental cleanliness. To ensure its operation, only the presence of electricity is required. The principle of action of Biolan Icelett is based on the freezing of waste to a temperature of -15 degrees.
The compost toilet is equipped with a compressor that controls the temperature. The product has a main switch. Ecological packages for biological waste and garbage are laid in the bucket tank. The contents of the toilet along with the package are placed in the composter, where the waste is returned to the natural cycle of nature. The toilet is installed in a heated room on a flat surface in a strictly horizontal position. It is not recommended to install such a toilet on heated floors. Recommended room temperature is 10-22ºC.
