SEWAGE SOLUTIONS |

Author - N.Grant & M.Moodie Excellent book from experts. After explaining the nutrient cycle and scale of the problem, Sewage Solutions looks at disposal methods for ‘black’ & ‘grey’ water - from septic tank to compost toilet, with explanations on how each works.

HOW TO SHIT IN THE WOODS |
|
 |
Author - K Meyer A customer favourite - explains exactly what it says in the title. Learn how to go properly when outside. An American book but worth it for the crop of 'worst experience' stories and how and where to use a spade. |

THE COMPOSTING TOILET SYSTEM BOOK |
|
 |
Author - Porto & Steinfield Composting toilets are probably the best way to deal with human waste especially on the smaller scale. Far from being just holes in the ground with nasty niffs they are now sophisticated pieces of kit. A timely, comprehensive book. Recommended |

THE HUMANURE HANDBOOK |
|
 |
Author - J.C.Jenkins Wonderful irreverent guide to composting human manure. Some terrible jokes mask a well researched manual looking at all the ways of dealing with human manure without using drinking water to flush it away. A must for all alternative coffee tables - can be sent in plain brown wrapper. |

Author - Moody & Grant The best short tract on septic tanks. |

FLOWFORMS (HUMAN WASTE, THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING) |
|
 |
Author - Mark Moodie Dense text that very much repays a second reading from a man who builds systems to deal with aforementioned waste. Good intro to the philosophical side of the Biodynamic movement and the work of Rudolf Steiner and others, leading to the thinking behind the structure of the wonderful water sculptures/revitalisers known as Flowforms. |
