Here is a sample from the article to let you know the ideas and motivation which led the diea of a compost toilet to make perfect sense for the Bexley allotment holders:
A waterless container is used as the toilet and a handful of sawdust is sprinkled on the waste.
Once the container is full, which takes around a year, it is moved to a compound and left for another year to break down and create compost.
Secretary of Alers Road Leisure Gardens Association, John Hollands, said: “It’s no longer just old men in flat caps with whippets. We have lots of ladies and families who go to the plot who need facilities that are less basic then most allotment sites offer.
“A few years ago we bought a portable loo but they are smelly and not very nice. We felt our allotment holders wanted something better.”
