3. Composting Toilets The tale of a large office complex converting to the use of composting toilets, and a smattering of other resources and links on human waste recycling. http://www.cityfarmer.org/comptoilet64.html

Published by City Farmer, Canada's Office of Urban Agriculture Composting Toilets Information on the use of composting toilets in cities is not easy to find. Building and plumbing codes don't encourage installation. Compost toilet systems are more common in parks, roadside facilities and vacation homes. City Farmer has a Compost Toilet! "But how do we use it", the staff wanted to know? "There's no water in the bowl, no handle for flushing. What can we throw in it, how do we keep track of how much human waste goes in, and what words should we use to describe our waste?" Sun-Mar Composting Toilets. Zero environmental impact. Use no water. Works with nature to produce fertilizer and evaporate liquids. Useful in cottages, cabins, pool cabanas, residences. The C.K. Choi Building at The University of British Columbia In Vancouver, British Columbia, a 30,000 sq. ft. office complex, utilizes composting toilets and urinals for human waste disposal. The new building, which houses The Institute of Asian Research, is not connected to the city's sewer system. As well, a subsurface, greywater recycling system with phragmite (tall grasses) plant varieties, cleanses the greywater which is then used for on-site irrigation. The C K Choi Building at UBC is the first all-Clivus Multrum large-scale office-building project in Canada.

Unlike the air we breathe or the water we drink, soil is often overlooked as an essential element in a balanced, sustainable environment. But healthy soil is critical for good air and water quality and the health of our lawns and gardens. In the Pacific Northwest, the top layer of soil is thin. And in many yards, construction and years of neglect have removed any trace of healthy soil, leaving only poor soil behind. Learn how you can improve your soil and how composting can restore soil to make plants grow and yards healthy.

Menu Home Soil Types Soil pH / Soil Acidity Soil Testing ... About Me How To Improve Your Garden Soil You will find here everything you need to know about Gardener's Loam - an ideal, man-made garden soil of such quality that it cannot be directly compared with native earth or with the loams and clays of the farmer's field. You will also find discussion of nutrients, organic matter, water and air, soil organisms, alkalinity, and acidity, and other related aspects of garden soil. Whatever your interest, prepare for a new appreciation and respect for the wonders of soil. There are more unsolved mysteries, more unexplored avenues in the study of soil than in any scientific field in existence. Even the human body is simple when compared with the loam outside your kitchen door. Soil is not merely a mixture of inert minerals - sand, silt, and clay. It is a community of organisms that live in every pore of a soil mass. The minerals are merely the mechanical structure. Soil itself - in lawns, flower gardens, vegetable plots, shrub plantings and so on - is as alive as the gardener who tills it. A handful of loam from your garden contains more living organisms than there are human beings on the face of the earth. Soil is alive and must be treated as a living substance. We must recognize that a garden is not a natural place in which to grow plants. It is a completely artificial environment in which we are striving for controlled, not natural, growth. We are purposely molding plants to our own end. Garden soil is merely one element in a deliberate program to make "Nature" serve us better.

11. Worm Composting Instructions, Diet, And Harvesting Details on worm composting, vermiculture or vermicomposting. Information on worms,buying or making a bin, setting up a bin, feeding, and harvesting. http://www.mastercomposter.com/worm/wormcomp.html

Vermiculture or Worm Composting Introduction Many municipalities prefer that food wastes NOT be composted in the backyard compost pile. This restriction helps with issues of pests and odors. A popular way to compost food wastes and small amounts of paper is a worm compost bin. Red worms (commonly called red wigglers) and brown-nose worms can be used to compost food scraps and paper. Worm compost bins have been called organic garbage disposals. The worms live in paper bedding into which kitchen scraps are placed. They eat both the paper and the kitchen scraps and excrete worm castings. Castings are far more potent than compost made from a backyard pile. There are more nutrients in castings, and they are in a form that makes them even more readily available to vegetation. People often question why this process doesn't smell. It is actually the rotting portions of decaying food that stink. In worm composting, the worms eat the rotting portion. The fresh portion is then exposed to the air and begins to rot. The worms eat it as it rots. As long as you don't put in too much food for the worms, they will eat the food as it rots. Therefore, there is no rotting food left to create an odor. (If your bin smells, you are providing the wrong kinds of food or too much food.) Use the following links to access complete instructions on setting up and operating a worm compost bin: The Worm Bin The Worms Setting Up House Feeding the Worms ... Harvesting Castings The Worm Bin You can either build a bin or buy one.

Composting Demonstration Sites to Visit Introduction to Composting Composting is the decomposition of plant remains and other once-living materials to make an earthy, dark, crumbly substance that is excellent for adding to houseplants or enriching garden soil. It is the way to recycle your yard and kitchen wastes, and is a critical step in reducing the volume of garbage needlessly sent to landfills for disposal. It's easy to learn how to compost. Composting is not a new idea. In the natural world, composting is what happens as leaves pile up on the forest floor and begin to decay. Eventually, the rotting leaves are returned to the soil, where living roots can finish the recycling process by reclaiming the nutrients from the decomposed leaves. Composting may be at the root of agriculture as well. Some scientists have speculated that as early peoples dumped food wastes in piles near their camps, the wastes rotted and were terrific habitat for the seeds of any food plants that sprouted there. Perhaps people began to recognize that dump heaps were good places for food crops to grow, and began to put seeds there intentionally.

20. CASFS - Building Fertile Soil Guide to creating and maintaining good quality soil, emphasizing organic materials and composting, from the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems. http://zzyx.ucsc.edu/casfs/gardenideas/soilfert.html

Building Fertile Soil Healthy soil = healthy plants: when you build and maintain fertile soil rich in organic matter, you literally lay the groundwork for thriving plants that can develop quickly, resist pests and diseases, and yield a bountiful crop. Can synthetic chemical fertilizers provide a shortcut to the healthy soil = healthy plants formula? After all, plants' needs are fairly basic: air, water, light, warmth, and a balance of nutrients and minerals. So why not put some seeds in the ground, apply the appropriate chemicals, and reap the harvest? Fortunately, you can choose from a wide variety of inputs that will help you create healthy, fertile soil. Organic soil amendments such as compost, manure, cover crops, and fertilizers derived from non-synthetic sources can improve soil quality while providing a source of nutrients that lasts through the growing season. You can make or grow some of these amendments in your own garden to keep your costs low. Organic Matter Think of a natural system, such as a forest or meadow: it thrives year after year by recycling available nutrients. Leaves fall and break down; grasses and flowers grow, bloom, and fade; animals die and decompose-all life adds organic matter to the soil. This is the cycle you're trying to recreate in your garden. Each time you harvest crops or pull weeds, you make a "withdrawal" from the soil's pool of nutrients and organic matter; if these aren't replaced, the soil is eventually robbed of the resources plants need to flourish. Organic matter, made up of decomposed plant and animal material, can help replenish nutrients and at the same time improve soil structure, making it easier to work and a more hospitable place for plants to thrive. Here are some readily available sources:
