No towel pig, but how 'bout paper towel bird?

I present Chirp -- it begged me to bring it home and make my kitchen a happy place. :)
And, yeah, Chirp kinda just goes with everything. Time to ditch the 25 y/o plastic Target special! I'm allowed.

paper towel
Comments (15)Given that you're skipping gory details, I assume we're talking about small bottoms and the materials involved - i.e. using paper towels to clean small people's bottoms. The term you need is "humanure," and there are various thoughts on it. It's way too hard core for me, and we washed our own cloth diapers - i.e. I have a pretty high level of comfort for the products of small people's bottoms. The general rule of thumb about manure is that it's OK to compost the manure of vegetarian animals (cows, horses, sheep, goats, and pets like hamsters and rabbits) but NOT the manure of carniverous or omniverous animals (pigs, dogs, cats). It's about diseases as much as it's about smell. Human manure has, of course, a much higher risk of carrying disease that might cause problems for humans. Baby or toddler manure might be less likely, but you'd have to talk to an expert on humanure composting. Urine is a different matter, since it is sterile when it comes out of the human body. Some people advocate urinating on compost piles occasionally, because human urine contains a lot of nitrgogen. Personally, that is also - at this point at least - too hard core for me. But I can see myself throwing in paper towels with baby urine, no problem. Don't ask me why - I dunno. I only had two kids, but that still amounts to lots of wet diapers?...See MoreTowel Pig

Comments (27)Towel Pig was way before I found this forum but I had to go back and look! That was really funny - my husband kept giving me weird looks as I kept laughing like crazy. Now that I am getting closer to redoing my kitchen (have a May deadline) I might have to start looking for a towel pig as my stove will be further from my sink and I might need a towel holder. :)...See Moretowel pig .
