Building a Shipping Container Home | EP04 Above Ground Septic System
Building an above ground septic system is the focus of this episode of how to build a shipping container home. I wasn’t originally planning on devoting an entire episode to septic tanks, leach fields, and above ground concrete planters that can remediate sewage but I had so many set backs trying to do a conventional septic system I thought this topic deserved it.
The full PDF house plan set is now available and for sale here: https://gum.co/WLXVe
I expect a lot of questions about the bioremediation and am currently looking for an expert in grey and black water systems to interview. If you know of anyone please let me know in the comments. I have not seen composting toilets that I feel are convenient enough but I welcome recommendations and insights that might have escaped me.
This system is an experiment. It seems to work for now but I wont endorse until I have seen it work for a few years.
I will be posting images and specs to https://www.themodernhomeproject.com/
