Movement In Motion

Q1. This is not multiple choice, but a question to get us started and for me to better understand the following:
Why are you using a dry or compost toilet?

Can't wait to hear your answers!

Dear all, thank you for the encouraging welcome back and your interest in my serious investigation into a loo materials service.

My drive is returning nutrients and calories (your processed toilet materials) to the land.

To give this toilet concept its best start I need to really understand what you would want, hope for and would expect while in return I need to learn more about nomadic toilet arrangements to know how to best invest myself in this.

For research purposes, and for me to best manage the information you share, I should like to send you a series of short questions with (often) multiple choice answers – I guess Facebook does polls?! Am not Facebook familiar, indeed am not comfy with it, but as a collective there is much we can learn in a short time. Please bear with me as I find my way with Facebook.

I’ll send out about 10 questions over the coming days and weeks and will later invite you to offer questions that are pertinent to the mission. By sharing this information, we may all gain insight into whether this is a desired service and how it may develop or indeed inspire more (regional) collection(?) services. Will you help? Offer your most genuine answers with an aim of creating a good and ongoing service to benefit you and show a positive alternative to the current waste water system.

In the fullness of time I’ll tell you more about my studies (MSc regenerative farming, soil science), microbiology, phytoremedials, and data collected and if this is a goer!

Right now, will seek the FB polls.

Til soon, Marnie - .uk

Compost and compost loos, pollinators and soil health are my key interests as I initiate my MSc dissertation in Regenerative Food Farming & Agriculture at Schumacher College, Devon
Can we banter? Am currently with two broken arms and would love to talk with similarly minded others as I head into and meditate upon the direction of my focussed studies.

Transcending the loo experience, a few hashtags to get the group going.
Our service is a place to leave your compost loo waste with some decorum.


&A

It’s Wednesday – Movement In Motion day!

While you are all accruing your compost loo goods and getting into a position to leave them with us (West Ilsley, between Newbury and Oxford) I’m going to briefly type about p*e and why we will take this product too.

One of the many other good reasons to separate p*e from poo and use the compost loo :
-> You know p*e is loaded with the nutrients that plants need to thrive: nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus.
-> You know main sewers have their inadequacies: spewing regularly into rivers and flowing onto the sea.

Movement In Motion is so totally tiny, conceptual and only trialling, but we feel strongly enough that lots of little can make a big difference... Each of us makes a difference.

P*eing on average 7 times a day (and apparently 7 seconds is a good standard amount of time to empty the bladder ( I had never considered timing my p*e time. Links have been added for further reading), it wouldn’t take long to put 2+2 together to realise that we have the potential to add a substantial about of fertiliser to the water system. Which in turn feeds plants and feeds the plants in the sewers creating blocks. The sewers are diverted to the rivers and our p*e feeds the river plant life which in turn starves the rivers of oxygen. So p*e diversion is great if it can be put to land, and to trees in particular (they are less likely to get the burn from undiluted p*e than a more delicate plant, which will yellow and frizzle).

As Kate highlights in the little movie, having the opportunity to see your p*e helps you to keep an eye on your overall health.

P*e that is pale yellow is just fine. Sit down when you p*e you better empty your bladder. When p*e is dark or over pale, have a think about why that would be and attempt to remedy.
****STINK WARNING***
It is becoming asparagus eating time. Asparagus p*e stinks to high heaven!

Movement In Motion is taking your loo products on Wednesday evenings. 5pm-7pm. For us to give the best service to you please book online www.movmentinmotion.uk Postcode is RG20 7HN, the carpark with the barge.

My new bf brings her nitrogen rich liquid to Movement In Motion HQ. Look up narrow boat compost loos on FB, am sure she'll welcome you into the group. #Narrowboattoilets #narrowboatliving #compostloo #p*e #movementinmotion

UK Compost Loo materials disposal.
TRIALLING FOR 6 MONTHS
Wednesday evenings: 5-7pm

We are choosing to take your compost loo products as a mark of respect to you and to the nutrients you can give.

Each day we all produce nutrients that can be easily processed and returned to the land rather than fertilising the damaging plant life of sewers (and dare I say ... rivers(?)).

If you are a compost loo user between Newbury and Oxford on the A34 and stuck to know what to do with your Goods, our service operates on Wednesdays between 5pm and 7pm as we learn our craft with this trial. Booking details on our website : www.movementinaction.uk

On The Old Berkshire Downs, we will process your compost loo resources for them to be returned to the soil. Enhance critter life above and below soil and nourish the land.

Making soil conditioners to ensure our future.

Trialling April to November 2022

We need soil, the soil needs us to help care for it.
