Easy and better'n you would think. Care Charlie Hehehehe.... seriously, though, I'll eat almost anything, and if I could find someone to fix me a nice carp, I'd eat it right down. Gar too. :-) |

On the more serious side, I have to flush it with water to have the effect I want to keep things going green in low rain times. I generally take a bath, flush the toilet a few times consecutively, run the dishwasher, and run the washer closely together on those days. I generally use Xtra or Trend (both cheap) liquid washing detergents. I DO NOT use any liquid bleach that goes to the septic tank. I use liquid bleach and water in a 5 gallon plastic bucket to bleach whites. Pour the liquid on the gravel driveway, rinse the clothing, pour the rinse water in same location, then wash clothing. The wastewater in the gravel driveway has neutral effect on foliage that likes to grow there. Generally soak whites for 24 hours or more in bleach/water, less bleach needed. Have not used any bacteria additives to date for the septic tank. For novices, the common way to "start" a septic tank is with yeast from the grocery store. After that, just maintain it with adequate waste and water. -- Dave Parkinson's disease, not easy to define. Much less cure. |

It's never ceased to amuse me that anyone that uses a gender neutral ID is presumed to be a guy. g It's given me a lot of entertainment. Where'd you find a fannypack purse with a holster? Do they make one that will hold a wheelgun with a 6" barrel? This one would easily fit one. This one, unfortunately, is made locally by some gals that attend the Saxet gun show in Austin and other areas of Texas. They run (when I bought mine a few months ago) $40.00. The come in black with colored fronts in Forest green, kelly green and royal blue. I think they may also come in navy blue but I don't remember for sure. Most good fannypack holsters will easily accommodate a wheel gun. You can also try the Bianchi website, or I can provide you with the phone number of the ladies that made mine.

wrote: X-No-Archive: I was hoping to get some advice regarding the use of grey water from the laundry for garden watering – mainly lawns. I’m not at all asking about the legality of it, which is not at all an issue. Rather I am trying to find out whether or not the grey laundry water is likely to stuff up my lawns. I use different sorts of washing powders, switching between different brands, but I typically add: NapiSan OxyAction MAX http://www.vanishstains.com.au/whats_new.shtml#1 Is this sort of grey water ok for lawn watering? What if this grey water was used for deep soil irrigation near plants and shrubs? (This is much less of an issue at this stage). I really would appreciate some advice. Thanks. Here's a few links which may bear some light on this question. http://www.lanfaxlabs.com.au/laundry.htm http://www.lanfaxlabs.com.au/gardens.htm These were found on this page of the "Gumnuts" blog Reuse of Greywater on Gardens 26 October 2007 8:56 PM In these times of water restrictions in many Australian cities, it's tempting to consider using water from washing machines to irrigate lawns and gardens. The question is - is it safe to do so? The answer is... it depends - on the type of detergent used in the washing machine, the soils in your garden and the area available to distribute the water. The fact is that applying laundry water indiscriminately can seriously damage plants and soil structure. And it's not necessarily the amount of phosphorus in the laundry waste that is potentially harmful. More often than not it's the sodium content that determines how much laundry wastewater can be safely applied to a given area. Much of the available information about applying greywater to gardens comes from the work of Dr Robert A. Patterson who is the Director of Lanfax Laboratories based in Armadale, NSW. Dr Patterson is regarded as an expert on the interactions between recycled water (including grey water from laundries) and soils. The Lanfax Laboratories' web site has a lot of useful information that can help you plan how best to distribute grey water on lawns and gardens. The site itself is a bit confusing to navigate but the following two sections should provide most of the information you need. * Laundry Products Research * Reuse of Greywater on Gardens One significant finding of Patterson's research is that "the simple assessment of the liquids (detergents) when compared with the powders is that liquids present less of a sodium hazard than the powders”. The other (perhaps) surprising finding is that "... there are very few essential plant nutrients in greywater and a lot of nasty sodium. Most of the benefit you see from using greywater is from the water, not what is in it.......so greywater is not a fertiliser and never will be!" |
