| Oct 1 | Build a Composting ToiletIn
this short weekend, we will provide you with the hands on instruction
and knowledge to build your own Composting Toilet. A simple method
of collecting humanure and composting it. We will cover the basics
of siting (and sitting), construction components, recepticals, venting,
organic cover materials, urine collection, maintenance throughout
the seasons, end product usage and so much more....even alternatives
to toilet paper, deconsumerization where it counts. Tutor Ianto

will focus on Permaculture and ecological design solutions for multiple
water issues. We will explore in-depth designs for a range of applications
and environments: mountains, plains, deserts, temperate and tropical.
Specific topics will include: siting ponds, developing
springs, gravity fed systems, solar pumps, cisterns, rainwater catchment,
intentional wetland wastewater treatment, rain garden designs for
biofiltration of runoff from parking lots and roadways, erosion control,
stabilizing stream banks, and much more. |
