The waste from nappy washing would be very good for your garden. Plan to enter your roses in a competition - they will be awesome. Oh...and prepare to blame the neighbours personal hygiene for the wiff!!!!

It's not as bad as you think - the poo is collected in a liner and flushed away down the loo - it doesn't go in the washing machine!

Will monitor my roses to see if it makes any difference! Be nice if it had some effect on all the greenfly though!

With most cisterns you can yes, ours however you couldnt, you could use a brick as mentioned though, or you could support a fellow SME

ps to make clear, im nothing to do with the hippo thing
