    when

    i was a kid we moved into an old farm house with no bathroom so we had a outhouse,but I don't remember any honeydippers, we just dumped lime in the hole and that would take care of it

    In the good old days some burned it. Some moved the hole and moved the location of the outhouse. Now-a-days they use portopots. If I had a hole with excrament in it, I would dump lime in it, fill it up and plant a tree there!
