If you get few enough that they can ship them via UPS it would probably be cheaper.Aly b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06859178279929107190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745225665858342108.post-53549470421178388582011-05-19T13:47:50.428-07:002011-05-19T13:47:50.428-07:00What was your cost per bag including shipping?What was your cost per bag including shipping?timoteoharveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02179338065814371860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745225665858342108.post-58256248868906839932011-05-14T19:08:24.823-07:002011-05-14T19:08:24.823-07:00It seems to have erased two other comments here......It seems to have erased two other comments here...don't know why.<br />I think I have seen the toilet doc.

The bags have been great. They tamp out to about 6x16x24 and are super solid under lots of tamping. No tears. Also glad I'm doing bags because tubing would be hard alone :-)Aly b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06859178279929107190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745225665858342108.post-81377374663017859122011-05-13T13:55:02.933-07:002011-05-13T13:55:02.933-07:00Aly,

Did you find it able to take enough tamping so that you can get the moistened earth solid enough? Did it tear at all?<br /><br />Timtimoteoharveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02179338065814371860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745225665858342108.post-7794302427939398842011-05-12T13:01:02.597-07:002011-05-12T13:01:02.597-07:00Looking good.

For your composting toilet/pile you might want to pick up some green material. Try finding a gardening service and see if they have some grass clippings you can have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745225665858342108.post-69026424807829655112011-05-11T20:24:34.131-07:002011-05-11T20:24:34.131-07:00Aly,
