  • I bought a random one at the thrift store a few months ago, it’s some no name brand. My only requirement was finding one that didn’t have any scratches on the Teflon nonstick coating on the pan.

    It has been amazing, it takes literally 5mins to measure and throw the ingredients in there and push start. Took a little while to fine tune the recipe. It’s nothing like baking bread but I completely stopped buying bread after getting the machine. Now I can still bake when ever i want, but its an easy way to make sure I always have bread around.

    I read on r/BreadMachines that the brand really doesn’t matter, just buy one for 20usd or less and get started. So far it seems to be true for me.


  • I’ve only ever lived in Oregon and Washington, in both those states its legal if you are just doing it off existing rooftops and using it on your property. I think, in both those states you could run into issues (or at least need a permit and water rights) if you build a system specifically for catching water.

    I think Colorado is the only state with the 110gal rule.






  • So I initially voted to keep down votes disabled, but now I’m thinking about switching my vote.

    My initial though was essentially everything you just said. But now I’ve noticed a few comments that are just sort of negative in spirit, negative sarcasm, or basically just not a very kind. But they are reply’s to a parent comment that is useful. I feel bad for the parent comment, because someones reply is just mean spirited. Will those kind of comments actually sink? maybe downvotes are useful to show that you appropriate the top comment but not the sarcastic reply?

    I dunno just thoughts.





  • Are you trying to be permitted by the county/local gov?

    It’s definitely possible to do graywater separate and compost human waste. I’ve done composting in the past and it can work great. But getting the county (I’m from the US) to sign off on it is really depends on your local government.

    One great resource in general is the The Humanure Handbook By Joseph Jenkins
