We’ll be doing a greywater workshop at Good Magazine this Wednesday May 27th from 7 to 9 p.m. Directions and RSVP info are here.

We’re going to focus on what I consider to be the easiest way to reuse your greywater: hacking your washing machine. We’ll take a look at a couple of approaches including our surge tank, pictured above, which we just got around to elevating with scrap lumber to get a gravity assist. We’ll also look at Art Ludwig’s direct “laundry to landscape” system.

Topics will also include:

• Greywater compatible detergents
• Choosing the best plants for greywater
• Creating mulch basins
• Greywater dos and don’ts
• Plumbing parts
• Water conservation and efficiency
• Greywater cocktails (just kidding)

Hope to see you all tomorrow!
