Toilet Arrangements

[Kenneth Eames]

Brian, Dig a trench about two foot wide (600 mm) and three feet long (900mm), and three feet deep (900mm). Build a wooden box a little longer and wider, with a hole the size of a toilet seat. It could be made of ply and the corners could be fixed on 2"x2" (50mm x50mm). The earth you dug out should be stacked by the side with a trowel. When the toilet has been used scatter a trowelful of earth over it. When it has filled with soil by six inches (150mm) sprinkle all over with lime. Do this until a foot from the top. Fill in the rest of the trench with the remaining soil and build another privy. Tarpaulins for a roof and walls. Kenneth Eames.
