===Maintenance===
When the first pit is put into use, a layer of leaves should be put into the bottom of the pit. Periodically, more leaves should be added to increase the porosity and oxygen availability. Following the addition of faeces to the pit, a small amount of soil or ash should be added. To lengthen the filling time of the pit soil is not added to the pit following urination.
Occasionally, the mounded material beneath the toilet hole should be pushed to the sides of the pit for an even distribution of materials. Depending on the dimensions of the pits, materials should be emptied every year.
