We use 1-1.5 cups of water on the brick. Once broken apart we leave the coir in the bucket until dry then bag it up separately.

I was taught the same way. Another reason is if the largest patch is the last patch and your patching sits a little proud of the hull, then the larger more structural patch may get sanded down during the fairing process.

Yes we leave the lid closed, but with the vent fan haven’t noticed any moisture unless past the time to change, and then only slight.  We had the same problem when we tried pine pellets as a medium. With the coir the worst odor we get is a smell of damp earth. It’s a shame as otherwise the corn...

Yes, then went full cob and still odor. We were using a new brand of coco and thought maybe that was the problem.

I’m reconsidering my recommendation of the corn based kitty litter as a composting medium. Worked great up until about a month ago, now gets a strong odor after a few days use. Don’t know why the odor is kicking in, all I can figure is higher humidity and temperature. Still effective as a drying...

Understandable, my reply was meant in humor!

Cleaning legs and crotch after a bowel movement........is that something I have to look forward to as I age?

We heard the same thing.

50% corn and 50% coir. Not sure why we do it that way but Lisa seems to think it’s appropriate.

Yes, the stepped base C-Head. I think venting leads to less moisture in the bucket and also removes some of the odor if close to changing time. Odor being the smell of damp soil. its a TRT 1200GT catamaran. We were going to remove the seacocks and glass in the through hulls at the last haul...

We use flexible latch handles, though only pulled the head out a couple of times. We also have the rules clearly stated!

We’ve owned an Airhead, Natures-head and also the C-Head. The disadvantage of the C-Head is the solids need to be changed 2-3 times more frequently. The advantage of the C-Head is the solids need to be changed 2-3 times more frequently.....I believe the more frequent changing leads to less...

My friend got this recommendation from Sandy about 6 months ago. In the 7-8 years that we’ve been using the C-Head Sandys recommendation for the medium has changed a few times. Constantly researching!

Before we used a mixture of coconut coir and aspen bedding. After a week or so the contents would get pretty damp. The corn cob litter does a much better job keeping the contents dry therefore prolonging the change date.

Sandys new preferred medium for the C-Head is the corn cob cat litter that I posted earlier. We’re able to almost double the time between changes with the corn cob litter.

From what I’ve heard Sandy sold the C-Head company to his nephew, so maybe things aren’t what they use to be. We use a combination of corn cob kitty litter with the coconut coir, best combination we’ve used in the 16 years of composter use, and inexpensive from WalMart.
