A tree bog how-to on wikipedia?

Good point. I've removed the most egregious material. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 20:21, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

This page lifts a *lot* of its text straight from the linked site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.213.217.162 (talk) 02:35, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Ad

This page is like an ad. --78.54.65.110 (talk) 23:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

worse than an ad - I've added another flag (original research), and cleaned up the incorrect associations with proper controlled composting, as well as the assertions that it's carefree "sanitation" .... the article is nearly a direct quote of the single external link and has no place on Wikipedia Red58bill (talk) 02:22, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Merge with article on Arborloo?

This seems to be basically the same as an arborloo. As the term Arborloo is more widely used in the sanitation literature, I propose to merge the two articles and then to redirect from Tree Bog to arborloo. What do you think, User:JMWt? EvMsmile (talk) 11:49, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

I still think this should be merged with arborloo! EvMsmile (talk) 13:03, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

This is significantly different from an ArborLoo and I would suggest some promoter of Tree Bogs to place illustrations, both drawings and photos. I am also not convinced about the use of chicken wire, as this would rust and release heavy metals; maybe it can be replaced by plastic mesh. Bio-CLC (talk) 09:29, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Rain

Wouldn't a hard rain or flood spread the poop all over the place? What about animals feeding on the poo? Leo Breman (talk) 20:38, 1 December 2020 (UTC) That could be a problem and it may be a good idea to form a birm of soil around the toilet for this reason, making it a bit more like the ArborLoo.
