more cob at Rivendell

Now down to the nitty gritty.
This is a cob outhouse. I really want to learn more about the logistics of composting toilets. At Rivendell there are two.
The one in the picture is a cob structure that has a humanure composting toilet inside. It is yet to be finished and that is why there is a plastic roof. The idea is that the waste will sit for at least a year so that it will properly decompose before being used as compost. The other out house is another type of composting toilet that uses perforated tubes to keep the waste aerated. These also have to sit for a year before being used in the garden.
We finally made it to the river today. Swimming in the river felt so amazing. I feel like I’ve finally arrived, and that our holiday is seeping deeper into my being. I cant believe we’ve been gone almost 2 weeks! Its actually taken this long to finally relax.
We visited the Duncan Market today, which was really great. Our friends were playing in the Marimba band, which was awesome to listen to. Such happy sounds!
