Composting toilets – the best gadget for your ecological man cave

[ad_1]

For literally hundreds of years, men have craved their own space, a place where they could escape their wives, children and the stresses of everyday life. In past centuries, gentlemen went to libraries or smoking rooms to drink brandy and chat with other men. In the second half of the 20th century, caves and basement recreation rooms became a common hideout for boys. Now, in the 21st century, a new type of refuge is growing in popularity: the human cave.

Male Caves are basically any space or room that is entirely dedicated to the male gender. Equipped with large screen televisions, mini refrigerators, stocked bars, pool tables and everything else a homeowner needs, the Men’s Cave is the best hideout for men to rest, relax and enjoy each other’s company.

While some homeowners build their male caves in basements, attics, or bonus rooms, many others choose to convert a detached building outside, such as a garage, shed, or workshop, into their human cave. However, the problem that homeowners have to contend with is the lack of plumbing in such outbuildings. While most garages and sheds have electricity, few have plumbing connections necessary to install a bathroom. An easy solution to access a toilet without plumbing or plumbing (and a solution that tech and gadget-loving guys will love) is to buy a composting toilet.

Composting toilets are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional flush toilets and are an excellent solution for farm buildings as they are waterless and completely self-contained. Thanks to the unique ability to transform waste into harmless, dry compost (a substance that looks very much like ordinary black garden soil) and to do so without any unpleasant odors, these devices will give you the best cool gadget for a male cave as well as a great conversation starter.

Composting toilets are based on the principles of oxygen composting. The bacteria in the compost break down waste quickly and are odorless using oxygen. To keep the compost well aerated, most compost toilets have an external crank that needs to be turned every few days. Rotating the handle causes the drum inside the toilet to rotate, thus aerating the compost without the homeowner’s direct contact with it. After about six months to a year, some of the compost will need to be removed for finishing or final disinfection. The process varies depending on the type of composting toilet model, but in almost every case the toilet is designed to be a quick and easy process in which the homeowner does not have to re-contact the compost itself. Once the finished compost is completely disinfected (which usually takes another month or two), you can use it in your garden on flowers, trees or shrubs. It will look and smell like regular garden soil and will be completely non-offensive and free from harmful bacteria.

Composting toilets are available from several different manufacturers and in most cases must be ordered online or through specialized stores or catalogs. A good system will pay you back around $ 1,500, but you’ll find savings further down the road in reduced water costs. Additionally, since composting toilets are a sustainable and ecological solution, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are creating a human cave that is not only technologically advanced but also environmentally friendly.
