Purchase Criteria

species

composting toilet: The composting toilet, also known as the dry toilet, is an environmentally friendly garden toilet. The faeces are collected in a large container, as in the well-known outhouse. With a modern composting toilet, however, you no longer have to empty the container regularly; instead, they are composted directly on site and, after some time, result in valuable humus. To prevent the build-up of odors, you should apply a layer of bark mulch after each visit to the toilet.

Separating toilet: The urine-diverting toilet is also a dry toilet that works in a very similar way to the composting toilet. The only difference is that liquid and solid components are collected separately. For example, the diluted urine can be used as fertilizer, while the solids are composted.

chemical toilet: This type of mobile toilet is often used for camping or when traveling in a mobile home. It is also used in many allotments. Chemical toilets are practical, but also controversial. The reason is the chemicals used, some of which have serious effects on nature and the environment. However, you can also use ecological means, which only mask the resulting smell.

dimensions and comfort

Since the garden toilet will probably remain in its designated place and does not have to be transported like the camping toilet, you should choose a comfortable model with the largest possible capacity. Think carefully beforehand about where you want to set up the toilet. It would be advisable to build a small outhouse in the garden for this or to plan a corner in the garden shed and provide it with a wall.

tank

Dry toilets only have one tank, the optimal size of which depends on several issues. A small tank is perfectly adequate if you use the garden toilet alone or have chosen a model that needs to be emptied regularly. On the other hand, a larger tank is required if the faeces are to be composted directly in the container or if several people are going to use the toilet.

cleaning

Nobody likes to clean the toilet, but this can also be necessary from time to time with the garden toilet. The cleaning of the dry toilet is much easier than that of the chemical toilet, since you only have to clean the collection container. So-called toilet bags, which are hung in the dry toilet and prevent soiling of the container, are practical in this context. Make sure these bags are also made from compostable materials. Chemical toilets, on the other hand, should only be cleaned with warm water and a cloth to avoid interactions between the chemicals.

level indicator

If you have chosen a garden toilet that has to be emptied regularly, a level indicator is practical and prevents the toilet from overflowing in case of doubt. Most of the time it is an inconspicuous display that uses a color scheme to indicate that it is due to be emptied. The level indicator is an indispensable must when several people use the toilet and you quickly lose track of when it is time to empty again.

frequently asked Questions

Can you also install a garden toilet with a water flush?

Of course, you can also install a classic flushing toilet in your garden. However, you have to consider that firstly the water for flushing has to come from somewhere and secondly the residues have to be collected and disposed of somewhere. That means you either connect the garden toilet to existing water and waste water pipes or bury a waste water tank in the garden. However, this must be emptied regularly by a specialist company. Collected rainwater is suitable for flushing.

Which garden toilets are particularly easy to set up?

In principle, all the garden toilets presented here are easy to set up. You can even use many commercially available ready-to-use toilets straight away. It is a little more problematic with the toilet house, because after all you will not want to do your business in the garden in front of everyone. You either need some manual skills for such a thing or you buy it ready-made.

Which garden toilet is particularly environmentally friendly?

The so-called dry toilets are particularly environmentally friendly because, firstly, they do not need valuable drinking water to flush down faeces and, secondly, they convert human remains into valuable humus. This creates a natural and resource-saving process that does not require any toxic chemicals.

Don't composting toilets stink?

The fact that composting toilets work without any odor is a flat lie. Of course, unpleasant odors arise during the rotting process, but these can be reduced to a very tolerable level by taking appropriate measures. This includes, for example, ensuring good ventilation and spreading a neutralizing layer of bark mulch after every visit to the toilet. Incidentally, composting toilets smell the least, but chemical toilets smell, how could it be otherwise, chemically.

Can I use normal toilet paper on a garden toilet?

You can use normal toilet paper on a dry toilet, regardless of whether it is a composting or a separation toilet. If possible, use unbleached recycling paper, as it is also composted and no harmful residues should remain in the compost. For chemical toilets, however, you should use special paper that dissolves very quickly.

Anyone who uses chemical toilets knows the problem: the pipes clog quickly and then they have to be laboriously cleaned. A large part of the clogging problem comes from unsuitable toilet paper not dissolving fast enough. Special, quickly dissolving toilet paper for chemical and camping toilets ensures that the lines remain free and do not have to be serviced as often.

To the product

So that you can do your business unobserved, it makes sense to have a toilet house in addition to the garden toilet, which you can set up in a quiet and little-frequented corner of the garden. This is where you place the toilet, although the house should of course have enough space to go in and sit down. Therefore, make sure you have the right dimensions, especially with regard to the seat height.
