Description
These are our new design, our combined composter and toilet in one. Huge capacity collection unit with integrated award wining composter from biolan. Wonderful compost is the perfect end result.
The Biolan Composting Toilet Eco is designed to handle both toilet waste and household bio-waste. Adding kitchen waste enhances the composting process by balancing and diversifying the compost’s nutrient base. Cover kitchen waste with bulking material to prevent attracting flies.
Year-Round Use In non-heated spaces, the compost mass may freeze in winter. This does not damage the unit or the compost itself; the process resumes when temperatures rise. Use double the amount of bulking material in winter to reduce seepage and empty the seep liquid canister in autumn to prevent freezing.
Emptying and Maintenance Empty the compost only when it has reached the cover soil stage, usually in 5-8 weeks. Do not empty more than half the mass at a time to maintain an efficient composting process. The tank should be emptied in spring if used only in summer. Seep liquid, rich in nutrients, can be used as a fertilizer for ornamental plants after diluting 1:5. Regularly check the seep liquid pipe, liquid separator plate, and seep liquid chute once a year and clean as needed.
Post-Treatment and Use of Compost The compost mass typically matures to the cover soil stage after 5-8 weeks. This semi-mature compost is ideal for use as a soil cover but should be post-composted for about a year before using on vegetable plots to ensure it is free of harmful microbes. Post-composting in a covered composter will mature the cover soil into rich, dark compost soil perfect for conditioning and fertilizing your garden.
As with all our toilets they can be placed anywhere as they’re a completely off grid contained unit but the site you choose to place them should be as flat as possible and the firmer the ground they sit on the better. A concrete base is ideal, hardstanding is great and plain ground is manageable.
If you require a soakaway please allow room for this, 40cm square is adequate and you should leave room to access the hatch at the back.
We will place your toilet/s anywhere a van, and trailer dependant on how many you’ve bought, can access. You can move them by hand or forklift/manatee to a more inaccessible location if required.
Delivery is an additional cost and dependant on your location.
Compost toilets are used in conjunction with sawdust. After a deposit has been made it should be covered with a sprinkling of sawdust. The main reason being a compost heap needs nitrogen and carbon, the nitrogen is your deposit the carbon the sawdust with the added benefit of seeing nothing but wood shavings, it absorbs anything it needs and it gives a protective barrier from midges.
This toilet has a 200 litre composter/collection unit, as a general rule of thumb an average deposit is 200grms, allowing for a little sawdust you will be able to accommodate approximately 600 deposits but it composts it in situ, it reduces the size enormously allowing for
We offer an alternative cladding of wavy edge larch of you prefer. Larch is beautiful and known for it’s hardiness, drying to a silvery colour.
