What about emptying the contents of a chemical camping toilet on there?

Don't laugh. Think about it. What are the chemicals there for? What 'are'
the contents?

Probably not a good idea the ones I've used have had Formaldehyde in the
chemical solution which is likely to kill the bacteria you need to promote
I understand there are some enzyme based ones about not seen one so
far........

So how do they work? Sorry I haven't a clue, but I thought that the chemical
was to break down the solid matter and it was that which gave me the idea!!
