Re: [papercreters] Re: permit to use papercrete in city in Texas

I have use a vermicomposting toilet that consists of an old refrigerator layed on its back buried to the rim. Its filled with a 2" layer of rock, a screen, then a mixture of partially composted leaves and wood chips. The liquids leach into a plastic lined field about 12" deep with various plants planted within the field. No black water reaches the surface and none goes into the ground water. The grey water is leached into a separate planting area.
