Gray water cat

These two PVC pipes connect
to opposite sides of our double sink. We deleted the drain trap as an
experiment to see if I could get an increase in drainage. I was a bit
worried about a gray water smell making its way into the kitchen
without the trap, but after a year of heavy dish washing I think I can
safely report it works just fine without being stinky.
What you don't see here is a
large layer of gravel about a foot below the King Stropharia wood chip bed to prevent standing water.

that are afraid to eat out of our gardens sometimes. Especially when it comes to varieties I haven't grown before. Is that really what I think it is?
The worst part is when weeding a garden with only seedlings of things I don't grow much... Is that the expensive seed I put in the ground? Or just a weed? :P
