A peat dry closet for a summer residence consists of a homemade toilet seat with a bucket, a peat tray, a compost pit and peat itself.
What is peat for? It contains bacteria that are great at breaking down faeces, converting them into an excellent fertilizer for garden plants.
After each visit to the country dry closet, biological waste is sprinkled with a portion of peat. As the waste container fills up, it is taken out and poured into the compost pit. By sprinkling peat on each piece of biowaste, gardeners rid themselves of unwanted odor while ensuring good composting.
It is impossible to use sawdust instead of peat, becausehow the effect of fast waste composting is lost.
If you have a waste collection capacity of more than 50 liters, then it makes sense to use peat with sawdust in equal proportions. In this case, sawdust will play the role of a substrate aerator.
