Recycling Activities |
[ Back

| Clivus Compost
and Clivus Liquid Fertilizer are recycled to the landscape in
accordance with the
Guidelines For Nutrient Recycling and all permits.
Compost is raked into the lawn, side dressed on ornamental vegetation,
or tilled into a garden. |
 |
|
Spreading
methods for Clivus Liquid Fertilizer include: by hose while
walking, low pressure spray, and bumper drip line. Nutrient
recycling activities usually occur during composter maintenance--
about every six months. |
| Clivus liquid
fertilizer (composted urine) contains about 80% of the nutrients
generated by human domestic life. Therefore, proper recycling of
the liquid is the most important activity for avoiding the health
and pollution problems, and expenses, of septic systems and
sewers. |

|
| Graywater
System |
[ Back

| Graywater
is dosed to the root zone in vegetated beds. The nutrients
in graywater are recycled to the plants, with clean water
recycled to the groundwater. |

Maintenance
for a typical residential NutriCycle System includes:
- every week-- add a
gallon scoop of shredded hardwood mulch down each toilet
- every six months--
recycle compost (about 2 bushels) to the landscape, if needed;
recycle liquid fertilizer (about 150 gallons) to the
landscape, if needed; rake and level composting pile; inspect
all other components for evidence of malfunction (there is no
routine maintenance required on the graywater system).
