RE: Surviving Summer 🌿🥕🍅🌻🥒🪴

Now I'm starting to wonder if maybe we mean different things by a gray water system... The simplest type is just draining your water into your garden, one sink at a time. But you probably meant collecting your gray water from all of your sources, and spread it out to where it's needed, maybe even with a nice reed-bed for filtration, perhaps feeding a pond... Yeah, those are the types that get me excited, but I agree, they tend to cost some money and a bit of work to be implemented.

Yeah, but that means adjusting the plumbing and so on and if we resold the house (like we have thought of many times) we have to change it back, becuase here in Australia they are assholes about having everything totally regulated and approved. If we had a pond close to the house, yeah maybe, but then we'd need a pump - it's just not set up that way. Money and time have definitely stopped us too - there's been other things to spend money on. Hell, we need rainwater tanks to start with, but we need about 10k for that, and right now we are pretty bloody broke!
