How do I love, thee, peat? Let me count the ways.
- You amend the soils of my plants by helping the soil hold water, while still allowing sufficient oxygen transfer.
- You halt the germination of malted barley at the perfect moment, and give whisky a lovingly smoky flavor
- And finally, you help make for a good toilet?
My brother sends word of an article in the October 2004 issue of Cruising World on composting toilets that use peat moss. To keep the odor down, you really need to have an electric fan for the vent pipe. However, it’s quite possible you could get by with a solar-powered fan, since you wouldn’t need to run it all the time. A manual crank is used to mix waste with the peat moss.
The article briefly mentions Incinolet, stating that:
“The Incinolet (www.incinolet.com) is an electric incinerating toilet, very popular with commercial fisherman and other commercial users who have ample electric power.”

Perhaps I should enquire at the Incinolet headquarters as to the possibility of an Incinolet Associates program to reward people like me for generating massive sales of “the toilet that goes where you go”. While a peat moss based solution is mighty tempting, I remain a loyal, die-hard, Incinolet man.
