Composting Toilets - The Ultimate Gadget For Your Eco-Friendly Man Cave

Man caves are, fundamentally put, any space or room that is entirely dedicated to the male gender. Outfitted with large screen televisions, mini refrigerators, stocked bars, pool tables, & anything else desired by the homeowner, a man cave is the final hideaway where men can rest, relax, & enjoy another's company.

For literally hundreds of years, men have craved space of their own, a place to get away from their wives, babies, & the stresses of every day life. In centuries past, gentlemen would retire to libraries or smoking rooms to share a brandy & conversation with other men. In the last half of the 20th century, dens & basement rec rooms became a common hideout for the fellows. Now in the 21st century, a used type of retreat is growing in popularity: the man cave.

Composting toilets are an eco friendly alternative to traditional flush toilets, & they are a great solution for outbuildings because they are waterless & self-sustaining. With their unique ability to convert waste in to harmless, dry compost (a substance that looks a lot like ordinary black garden soil) & to do so without any offensive odors, these fixtures will provide the final chilled gadget for a man cave & will also provide a great conversation starter.

While some homeowners build their man caves inside in basements, attics, or bonus rooms, lots of others pick to convert a freestanding outdoor building such as a garage, shed, or workshop in to their man cave. However, issue that homeowners must contend with is the shortage of pluming in such outbuildings. While most garages & sheds have electrical access, few have the water & sewer connections necessary to put in a bathroom. An simple solution to providing restroom access without water or sewer hookups (& a solution that will appeal to techno- & gadget-loving guys) is to buy a composting toilet.

Composting toilets work based on the principles of aerobic composting. Bacteria in the compost break down waste quickly & odorlessly by using oxygen. To keep the compost well aerated, most compost toilets feature an exterior crank handle that must be rotated every few days. Rotating the handle causes a drum inside the toilet to turn, thus aerating the compost inside without the homeowner having to come in to direct contact with it. After a period of about six months to a year, some compost will need to be removed for finishing, or final sanitization. This technique varies depending on the type of composting toilet model, but in every case, the toilet is designed to make this a quick & simple technique wherein the homeowner again does not must come in to contact with the compost itself. time this done compost has fully sanitized (which usually takes another month or), it can be used in the garden on flowers, trees, or shrubs. It will look & smell like regular garden soil, & will be non-offensive & free of harmful bacteria.
