Default Greywater question


"len gardener"

use it in the vege gardens so long as you use the under the mulch
system, it could pose problems if sprayed over foliage. maybe consider
running 3/4" hose from tank and into each garden bed then drill holes
in hose to act like drippers the size of holes dependent on how fast
you want the water to drain, say the holes could be anywhere between
1/8" and 5/16" drill size start smaller and open out as you
experiment. i'd suggest 1/2" size hose for the final in the beds but
at least 3/4" up to then. i use a single 1/2 hose and it'll clog very
occassionaly, but the above suggestions should be easier to keep clear
and not as cloggable as dripper nozzles.if need be you could fit cut
off valves so that you can spread the water around among the beds on a
rotational system.


This is a brilliant idea!! I'm going to try it. Thanks Len.
