Setting Up Outside For Using The Dry Toilet System Or Sanitation Kit Usage



 For Use If You Have No Water and No Power
 
Prepare by digging a 3X3X3 ft hole in your yard as far away from the house and garden area as possible before the ground freezes (winter).   
Fill the hole with leaves and cover the hole with a sheet of plywood.  Cover the dirt from the hole with a plastic tarp held down with a big rock on each corner
       
To use: Place the full bag of waste in the hole, chop the bag thoroughly up with the shovel and cover with a couple inches of dirt from the dirt pile next to the hole. Cover the hole with the plywood and cover the dirt with the tarp and place the rocks on the corners, ready for next time.
If you have not dug a hole previously, place the full bag of waste into a metal garbage can specifically put aside for waste, and place the lid securely on, put on the north side of the house or in a shady place to keep the odor down. When the ground thaws, bury it. 
**Keep liquids and solids separate.  Bushes love liquid (urine).
