I too installed more sustainable systems and found the additional expense of having to repeat some parts of the systems regrettable. I guess I was just thinking of specifically running shower water to toilets and then out to the regular black water septic system. Interesting about the sheep. I love finding out how different sustainable housing alternatives stack up in actual use. As for the households that only flush occasionally, while I am certainly not known for being particularly fastidious, I find that practice to be too smelly, especially with male liquid waste. It seems to me that male animals regardless of species seem to have a "marking" scent, that needs immediate flushing or outside air. (Maybe the boys could just water the trees?)
