Composting loos not smelly


Bernelle Verster self proclaimed 'Water Maverick and Shit Stirrer' has developed a dry toilet in her home and it really works.

Composting toilets use the natural processes of decomposition and evaporation to recycle human waste, and typically use no water for flushing, hence the name "dry toilet".

She explains to John Maytham how she has developed a lifestyle that is ecologically friendly and in harmony with nature.


We can build these things into our lives without them being so weird.

At most the toilet has an 'earthy' smell, she says and friends who have also installed dry toilets are surprised at how they don't have an unpleasant odour and are easy to maintain.
