Have been spending several hours each evening clearing my allotment and occasionally have to answer the call of nature..
Dont mind weeing in a bucket in the shed, but tonight had to do an emergency No2 in a carrier bag and bury it :P (good compost I'm sure..apart from the plastic bag!). Does anyone have any tips on how to make a discreet compost loo? Or do you all hang on until you get home?
Bury it (but not the plastic) :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
Yeah but what to do with the plastic? Spose I could drop it off at Tescos carrier bag recycling point........
As long as no-one sees you dropping it off - Ah!!! but it would have your DNA on it, they could trace you that way ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
would rather have to drive back home than do what you did,all power to you mind!
Thank goodness we have toilets on our site :D
I always go before I leave home. I can't wait to get the shed!!!!

Good for the leeks when diluted @ 10-1(water-wee) ;)
I think I'm gonna have to look on Ebay for a commode. And line it with something biodegradable.. and perhaps a discreet willow fence around it?
when you have to go you have to go, a bucket is best with a toilet seat over the top, with some water in the bucket its just like a toilet at home, lol , just throw it on the compost it will rot down eventually, the no2 not the plastic bag.
Didn't they used to stick it on the rhubarb. Did we really have to have that much information about your toilet habits.

this made me laugh out loud and shout gross at the same time ;D next time use a couple sheets of newspaper then you could bury the lot. i had to do this a few years ago for my two year old daughter and there were no loos around, i shan't say where we were.

what about a portable camping loo.
Download a free copy of the humanure handbook it gives comprehensive instructions on how to build a composting toilet.

They now do a portable toilet called a nuts box which they sell to people who go to festivals better to google it than me try and explain!!
phewwwwww we have loos at our allotment
hehe
What about putting the bag in a bin for dog waste, as dog walkers are supposed to? ;)

your post has me ROFL ;D
all sounds lihe a load of s***t to me.
Oh our outside loo, with the privit bush in frount of it and dad digging it out and yes went on the rhubarb bed, mum would topdress with cow muck just incase anyone came to visit.
We had the most wonderfull rhubarb going.
Dad said his dad spread it on his frount lawn wiffed for a week but had the greenest lawn in the village.
Son camping with mates would dig a hole and put logs around to sit on. He instisted on loo roll and would topdress with the loose soil, when leaving would just fill the hole in.
I have a bucket in the shed and the wee goes in the compost bin helps to break it down also keeps rats away.
Good for leeks if you drink Newcastle Brown Ale by all accounts, you can chase moles off your plot by pouring it down the runs yes it works.
I used to go in the woods nearby until we got a toilet on the site. You could always use a sheet of newspaper in the shed, wrap it up and bury it. If you're squeamish, get a chemical toilet.
Well being a Girl Guide on latrine duty in the late 1960's, this post made me titter. Someone has proabably eaten vegetables grown in a field that I camped in somewhere ;D
and charged the earth called them Organic ;D
Some great tips here, thanks! Reckon I'll have the best rhubarb in Bristol..
why not pick up those recyclible bags the ones made of corn starch and pop in the compost bin???
Hi Cambourne - good idea, that is my plan! Funny how this thread has attracted more views in two days than anything else :o)
Eat lots of imodium before going to the plot!!! ;D ;D ;D

We have custard on our rhubarb. ;D
It's Severn Trent land next to my allotment so i know this is true.
I can't read the article, but I assume it's sewage sludge rather than raw sewage.

We have toilets on our site but my 4 year old prefers to sit on a bucket that I fill with grass cuttings (weird I know), I just bury the lot.
Its actually illegal to put untreated human poo on land that grow crops for health reasons so it no laughing matter really.
Regarding keeping rats away, I'm told it's only male pee that works.
(Never had a rat on my male run lottie.)
The 'jerry-under-the-bed' contents always went on the rhubarb. That's why people grew it probably. Somewhere to put 'it' without filling up the hole-in-the-ground privvy. Mind you, when planting a new crown it's always a good idea to put a bucket of **** in the hole first.

Thanks Buster i have been trying to enlarge that bloody clipping all day :P.
Poo is poo animal or mine it all goes in me compost bin. Severn Trent pump it in to the ground by pipes that go under the fields, but you can allways find the odd self set tomato plant growing at the field side,and considering how the got there in the first place :-X they allways.... taste nice ;) ;D
