[Stoves] Biochar in Loo

[Anand Karve]

Dear List,
a former colleague of mine has designed a toilet constructed on
stilts. Underneath the toilet one places  a small cart with wheels and
a long handle for pulling the cart out. There is a sack full of soil
and a shovel next to the toilet seat. Each toilet user throws some
soil on the excreta before leaving the toilet. After the cart is full,
one just pulls it out and empties it in a field.
Yours
A.D.Karve
