Arnold, CA…Thank You for joining us this evening. One of the first challenges you must take care of when you start your homesteading journey is how you will take care of human waste.
Not a fun topic but one that has to be dealt with . The traditional route can cost you thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. Going forward that can still be an option for you but lets get you going on your project now.
If you go the batch processing composting toilet route you can have 80 to 90% of the functionality with only 10% or less of the costs.
Think of each composting bin as an above ground waste treatment facility. The same chemical process that happens in a septic tank or commercial waste treatment facility is taking place in each composting bin.
The only real difference is that instead of using water as a transport mechanism is that you have to spend a minute or two changing the bin when they are full.
A brief chore can save you thousands and get you on the path to your goals starting today.
Next week we will start taking but the more fun topics of building a small Hand Hewn life but for this week we had the get the unpleasantness out of the way. Number two really is number one on the list.
About hewn.co
At Hewn we are going take you on a journey to see if it is still possible to build a functional, small homestead that anyone, even someone making minimum wage can build and own. We are going to try this in California no less. Join us as we attempt to build an off grid, solar powered, rustic, pioneer style homestead.

This is not legal in Calaveras County.
Call the building Dept to confirm this.
He said nothing touches the soil and they recommend two years compost time. How is this any different that renting a porta potty?
If nothing touches the soil how is the county even involved? You could just choose to wear depends and throw them in the trash.
You mean like Trump?
Environmental Health, On Site Septic department
Appropriate subject- Terd Blanche will be confirmed, even after all the evidence he is presiding over a highly illegal DOJ , which among many cases, is denying the Congressional order to release the remaining 3 million Epstein files, videos, photos, emails.
The Republican party is a criminal operation.
Their next move is to steal the November election , this is abundantly clear.

Who in the world needs this?
No one up here lacks indoor plumbing.
John, get a real job. This stupid “newspaper” (a stretch, I know) and your DIY poop shack is ridiculous.
Get a real job!
