I'm going green in a lot of ways and one of them is saving water. So early in the mornings when its kinda dark I do a number 1 and and 2. Is this weird? I dug a deep hole and squat to do my #2. and when i need to do lots of #1's i do it in a bucket outside and pour it out in my dirt area. i think its great and i save water! yay!! but it gets kinda smelly, lol. giggles giggles

Oh my gosh, I'm not really sure if you are serious or not. There is a reason why even mountain climbers are required to carry their #2 off the mountain.
I understand your desire to save water, but you might be doing more harm then good. What about buying a low water toilet and not flushing after you urinate one time. Ever hear the saying, "If it is yellow let it mellow but if it is brown flush it down"? Use your bath towel for two days and find other ways to conserve water.
I happy I'm not your neighbor.......Peeeeewwww!

If your goal is to save water,don't flush each time you use the toilet,especially if it's #1. That's something I've had to do,because of a lack of water.
You can also get a special toilet that is designed to use less water. Check your local hardware store for one,or ask a plumber.
I doubt if your neighbors want to put up with the stench you're creating by going outside to do your business.

We have sanitation systems for a reason. Think of how bad it would get if everybody in your neighborhood followed your example. Frankly, I don't want to go back to the days before running water and sewer systems. If that is what you want, then you should move out of the city into the undeveloped countryside where you can have a well for water and an outhouse for your business.

Okay I hope you are not serious. Are you?
Not only are you contaminating the soil, but you could also potentially be contaminating the ground water as well, if you live in an area with a high water table.
There is a reason for wastewater treatment facilities.
If you're concerned about water usage, buy a composting toilet, or a water-saving toilet, and only flush it when you do your "#2".
Please stop contaminating the environment with your wastes.

you won't be in a position to maintain the soil moist at night or you will get fungus growth. whilst the backyard is available in you will the two might desire to deal with the backyard with a fungicide whether it rather is a fungus or cope with it with a product containing ferrous sulfate whether it rather is moss it somewhat is growing to be. Soak the backyard in the morning and permit is dry out thoughout the day and the fungus won't improve.

Yup, you are a true environmentalist, unlike most of the fake Al Gore followers on Y/A.

Why don't you just run a garden hose to your bathroom and put a funnel on it so you don't miss the hole ? Works great in the garage .

well urinating in a bucket isn't the greatest of ideas, especially if you are not washing it out. I don't care if you go the bathroom outside, but your neighbors might. I hope they don't call the cops on you.

Great idea more people should do this at home. Surprised I haven't seen it on one of the GREEN websites.
