two-day course

build a compost loo


location: nr Bath, NE Somerset

Join Nick Ward for a weekend making an outdoor compost toilet that is designed to best serve you and the environment you find yourself in.

Nick will first explain how to design such a loo and where to get the materials from (potentially for free), before the group go out on site and actually build it start to finish!

Nick's design incorporates using stilts for easy access to compost, rainwater harvesting so you can wash your hands afterwards, separating pee from poo and even how to design crops such as willow and comfrey into the system to best utilise your space.
