Unsurprisingly the new loo has generated a lot of poo! In order to process this we have constructed a tree bog composter.
First digging down gently into the roots of the huge sycamore behind the she'd then constructing a rodent proof cylinder to sit in the hole.
Next we have dug turfs from around our veg garden (to cut down on slug habitat) and built them around the mesh cylinder.
We watered the turf in situ to keep them alive, hoping that they knit together and maintain a healthy aerobic aromatic environment while the poo is breaking down. For the tree too this means that the poo is broken down by worms who carry the nutrients where they are needed then the tree can grow towards the rich food source, following their trail.
Finally it is a gorgeous green teddy-bear ready and able to accept our donations as we return what we borrowed from the land.
