We are changing the pumpout toilet to a bucket and chuck it but can we compost safely? we have a friend who’s willing to let us use his compost heap. How can we be safe and non-smelly? Also, can we run the Lister engine, (c.1950’s) on chip fat oil? I believe we can but do we need any modifications? We would be very grateful for any help and advice you can give us. We have already contacted our Solar power man to get some advice and quotes for solar panels! Many thanks. Dear Dick,
