Greywater drain installation![]() After I
carried in all the pipes, I got scared of doing the
plumbing and put off finishing our greywater
wetland for a couple
of weeks. Mark kindly gave me a hand cutting the existing drain
and installing the connectors, and then he helped me lift the world's
largest rock to expand the inlet
area. ![]() We tested the flow
before adding extra rocks, and then afterwards. It looks like
it's going to work, but we'll wait a few days before burying the pipes
to make sure we didn't forget anything important. ![]() In the meantime, I got a
bee in my bonnet and decided to install a tiny pond liner Mark's mom
had given us years ago. I put it at the very end of the wetland,
raised up a couple of inches so that water won't flow in unless the
whole thing is well inundated. The pond has no real farming
significance and will probably just be home to a couple of goldfish and
maybe a lotus, just for fun. Want to be notified when new comments are posted on this page? Click on the RSS button after you add a comment to subscribe to the comment feed, or simply check the box beside "email replies to me" while writing your comment.

It is illegal where I live to discharge grey water on the ground but I do put a bucket in the shower to catch water.
