It tends to have much less organic matter, and thus be less prone to smelling. It's also much easier in the sense that you don't have to move it more than a few feet (in most bathrooms). Did y'all use bathroom sink water at the greenhaus? Did you use any of the water outside? Can't remember, it's been a while. Anywho, that house was definitely an inspiration for this post! Cesily,
