Woman Living Off The Grid Faces Eviction If She Doesn't Hook Back Up

103. How about someone with a compost pile?

In this particular case, as has been mentioned several times above, she was apparently trying to game the system.

But outside of that, an outhouse doesn't have to be a smelly pit in the ground. It can be regularly emptied. I met one older fellow who had developed a strong belief that we as a society waste far too much water, so he stopped. He was big into wood working, who used all of his shavings and dust in a bucket to keep unpleasant waste from being too concentrated. His restroom and compost pile smelled of cedar and pine. And his flower garden was amazing.

He limited his water to drinking and showers, both supplied from rain. The shower was an outside contrivance he had built behind the house. His hygene products were home made, supplied by a neighbor, and the runoff went directly downhill to his garden.

He was an odd fellow, but I cant see anyone likely to complain about any product of his lifestyle, except perhaps the noise from his woodworking.
