I grew up off the grid in NY and my husband and I just bought 10 acres to do the same with.

Our land is in Angelica NY.

We are having the Amish build us a small cabin to put on the land.

I am having a hard time finding info on a sawdust composting outhouse, which is how I found this forum

This is where I read up on it. Works great. We use peat moss.

Good luck with the cabin

Sandy, that's just what we did, bought 12x40 from Amish and are finishing the inside ourselves. I love our little place. We have used sawdust and peat, just add a cup of each. This has worked great! Next spring I should have some great fertilizer for my trees and flowers! Do share pics of your place when you get it.
