Grey is the New Green - Re-using Greywater for Your Garden
There is a wellspring of guilt-free recycled water hiding in your house...greywater! Join us to learn how to tap into this money-saving resource and watch your garden oasis flourish.Greywater is the rinse water from your laundry machine, shower, tub, and bathroom sink, which can be easily rerouted to irrigate your landscape. Plants love it! Plus, having a greywater system lands you solidly in an elite league of eco-warrior solutionaries.
In this informative overview, we’ll lay out, in plain language everything you need to know to decide whether a greywater system is a good fit for your home. We’ll discuss system design, the best plants for greywater, cost, codes, soaps, and the basics of installation. We'll focus primarily on the Laundry-to-Landscape system, which is an easy and affordable DIY project, with no permit required, that saves thousands of gallons per year.
After the talk, join us to actually install a Laundry-to-Landscape system in our helpful hands-on workshop on Saturday, September 24th, 10am-1pm. When: Wednesday, August 24, 2016 | 6 – 7:30pm
