Human waste
We have a humanure bucket. http://www.weblife.org/humanure/index.html
The plants need water.
Cleaning
We have a sink in the cordwood now. We have a shower in the greenhouse.
Water
Water can be obtained from the hand pump on the well, the rain barrels in the greenhouse, and the streams nearby.
Bacteria and water
Stagnant water with food in it is bad because it helps bacteria grow. Without water, bacteria cannot grow on small amounts of dried food. If there is too much food then the water cannot evaporate fast enough, and bacteria can grow. Eating utensils and containers should be thoroughly licked clean, so that any water left can evaporate quickly so bacteria cannot grow. This also helps reduce wasted food. Dried food can then be scraped and washed away fairly easily.
