Another fun workshop with Sweetwater Collaborative in Santa Barbara. Free to participants. Register here:
There are times a laundry to landscape greywater system isn't the best way to get greywater into the garden. In this case, the place we needed to tap into the laundry line is behind the washer, below the house, and in the drainage pipe. The greywater needs to be moved by gravity, because there isn't a direct connection to the washer motor.
This is an opportunity to learn and
work on a different kind of greywater installation called Branched Drain. We will be working with larger pipes of 2" and 1 1/2" that are more rigid than those in the laundry to landscape system. The pipes need to be adjusted to drop 1/4" per foot to keep the greywater flowing. It will be challenging and exciting to put this all together!
Saturday October 4 from 8:30am-3:00pm. Lunch and snacks will be served.
The greywater will be directed to the front yard, side yard, and parts of the backyard. This is a fun project and you are invited to take part in
it!
Greene is the family name of the people's yard we will be working in, so this will be a branched drain workshop in a Greene garden!
Sweetwater Collaborative is taking greywater workshops to a new level in Santa Barbara. Come join us and get in on the newest thing!
Let's celebrate, that along with all our challenges, acts of kindness
in little and big ways are always happening on our shared planet ....
