The definitive authority on making composting toilets and running a very easy composting process that results in amazing garden compost over a 2-year cycle, and eliminates the need for sewers or septic tanks on the property.
A full version of the handbook is available online in PDF format if you want to check it out.
I bought a physical copy at Amazon as well.
I have not read the full book yet, but it’s clear that this will be my preferred method as we tackle the “black water” question on whatever site we choose. Doing this not only nets us great compost relatively easily, but also means that we can look at sites that won’t pass the perk test for septic, likely making the land cheaper, since most people won’t consider putting a house on it.
The same author has very detailed techniques for creating “grey water” fields as well, which we will use to deal with sink drainage when the time comes.
The book is very detailed, and though little of the “hippie BS” that he goes on and on about interests me, his technical grasp of the problems and solutions is 5-star. Building the compost bins will likely be the first thing we tackle on the site.
