Thanks again for so much great info! 
I do indeed have fire ants tho I try to keep them in check (ha!); that was something I meant to mention in regards to using grass clippings, so I am hesitant to use them, between fire ants and all the other what-nasties that abound here (I am in Lower Puna, fyi.)
At this point I am going to get several buckets/purchased substrate and probably on a snap-on seat/lid to start before I build a formal box with standard seat, and see how it goes.
This is essentially an experiment for me...I currently have all utilities but am going to be transitioning to another place from scratch and going off-grid and so am hoping to avoid some of the major pitfalls ahead of time, tho I know that is highly unlikely! Yeeeeeaaaahhhh....
Maybe there should be an entire thread on Punaweb dedicated to such things? I don't think there already is one...
Again, your detailed info and experience is greatly appreciated!
