I'm not sure this will work for what I'm doing but it gave me some ideas. But I just really want to say you are adorable and hilarious and I love your graphics. Keep it up!
If you own the land your trailer is on, this is a excellent cost effective way to recycle gray water. Biochar in conjunction with you system will vastly improve the soil for your trees. I assume you are in the beginning stages of creating a food forest & moving about ur watershed on contour?! Gr8 video, thanks for sharing...
I've been looking into biochar! I didn't know it helps trees though, so I"ll have to do some digging. We're currently designing a more permanent greywater system for a permanent tinyhome. Luckily we got a perfect slope, so I'm trying to pick what to do with where it all pools and how to use it effectively.
@@terratorialhomestead4288 - awesome. Watersheds are hard to map out. I'm sure you terrain maps will tell you. Maybe a water shaman or ground penetration radar could assist. Has Google maps helped? I'm curious as anything pointing to a sustainable water source is vital. Good luck & thank you so much for posting your endeavors.
@@terratorialhomestead4288 biochars absorbs & locks in nutrients/water. This combined with mulch will assist in tree growth. Trees roots anchor water & moisture into subterranean soil structure. Gumbo Limbo, West African mahogany, & MX sunflower trees are all fast growth & prized woods used in carving & nitrogen fixing biomass.
@@terratorialhomestead4288 - well you don't want the gray water in the spot water flows naturally. You want 2do the earthworks to pond or (swale) slows & sinks into the water table. As water slopes down into your pond pit, it can be used filtered as drinking & personal use. Gray water use is 2nd use water. Right?
Correct! Luckily the slopes are pretty obvious on our land that it's pretty easy to eyeball, plus the soil is much more rich there. Everything else is dry and full of different species of plants. I'm thinking like a swale to branch out from it. Our solar panels will be placed a little to the left and I know some veggies like the partial shade from them so I'm hoping like a french drain or swale can redirect enough water over there so I don't have to water by hand. Then I can feel better about being more indulgent in water use, since it's just helping water the veggies anyways.
Thanks for you video.. I'm needing to do something for my greywater also the plan seems easy but now I have to figure out how to keep the cows away from the water
Hi! I think about using the grey water from hand-washing/washing machine for the toilet and another part for the garden, since it's even less rain here the last years in South-Sweden. First I just put a bucket under the sink, but it starts to smell (which is usually prevented by a little water standing in a part of the tube) Still figuring out what to do about it 😁 Thank you for the video!
Thats how it is here! It's like a mix of prairie and dessert and don't have a large water storage so it's nice to use water twice when possible since I have to haul it everywhere. Greywater stank is unreal 🙃
If you let the greywater collect, that's when microbes grow in it and thus the stink. Keep the grey water from stagnating and keep it mobile to its end destination from the get go. So I would suggest ditching the first bin, changing all the filter materials to the bottom bin but keep it elevated and maybe slightly tilted so the water will readily flow out, and let the hose do the rest. But I don't know if the collapsible hose will let small amount of water flow freely
Well if you build a gray water wicking bed, you can plant reed, cattail, lily's that absorb the terrestrial toxins extruded from human waste & products. That water can be recycled back or used to water trees or inoculate (biochar + graywater)compost pile.
The music in this video made it completely unwatchable. Why add it? The content sounds valuable, but the music was just obnoxious. Even half volume would be too much.
