Q: What is the difference between camping and glamping?

Q: What is a dry composting toilet?
A: A dry composting toilet, is a waterless toilet system that separates the excreta.

This removes liquids from solid matter and at the same time prevents formation of unpleasant odours. We then compost the faeces and store the urine for a time until they can be used as compost and fertiliser.
