Allotments 4 All

i have an allotment but no toilet facilities on the site.  someone else i know have put their own loo together somehow.

am not very practical and not alot of money. does anyone have any suggestions to make toilet visits a bit better than a bucket in a shed and being eco friendly too?

Crude advertising but a good product

Welcome to the site poppyseed... hope your problems are all answered by ACE's link...  ;D

   Hi poppyseed,

   Like the look of the ' loo ' that Ace reccommended,  but is there a weight

   limit ?    ::)

If your over 20 stone or the box gets wet then it could be messy.

Weight Tolerance: 55lbs/inch2
Bursting Force: 225lbs/inch2
Tested up to 20 stone/127 kilograms weight.
[based on a dry unused box]


An alternative would be to look into humanure.

a dining chair with the seat part removed, over a bucket! ;)

Hiya Poppyseed, I have to apologise for baccymans remarks, fancy calling a lady fat. The only problem with my suggestion is buying one. I mean who would walk into a shop and ask for a s#*tbox ;) although people on this board could get away with calling it a nut case.

I didn't call anyone fat, flossy asked if there was a weight limit.

Don't take the hump with our own resident "nutcase" Baccy Man..  ::)

Thats even worse :o Flossy comes from a very select part of this Island, and although you might never see a 'dainty' Gunville girl. 20 stone is pushing your luck ;D

  I didn't call anyone fat ---- honest I didn't !    

 Just .....   wondered .......         ::)

Hi Poppyseed
If you have a shed, why not think about getting a 'porta-potti' type camping toilet to go in a corner of your shed?  Often you can pick these up secondhand.
Several people on our field, especially those with young children, have one in their sheds for emergency use

Poppyseed: I use a Hartford porta pottie that I keep in the shed at the lottie; it's quite comfy, stable, clean & hygienic and can be emptied in the toilet back at the house.  We use an organic type disinfectant product that goes in the 'bottom' section with water.  They are expensive to buy new, but we obtained this from someone scrapping their caravan so it was a £20 bargain.  I could NOT stay any length of time at the lottie without this feature.  I think it is ridiculous that most allotments do not have these available for members-I'd gladly pay a higher plot fee for this necessity.  Many Council owned-operated allotments I checked out (before putting my name on the council owned but association operated site) just stank to high heaven of urine.  It's not hard to guess which gender is likely responsible for the casual relieving of themselves, just because they can! Anyhow, good luck on obtaining this necessary feature.

I just dig a hole cack in it and fill it back with soil, mind you I hope the bloke on plot  number two  doesn't catch me.  :P       ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

  Plot No what ,  cornykev  ?     ;D


   Min is boggling !   ::)
