Greywater System Workshop

Join us for a hands on workshop/Permablitz installing a greywater system using a series of recycled baths. 

You may have seen this type of bath system in use at Melliodora or Milkwood, who both use a system of 3 baths. Due to the extra space and resources available, Ellen and Michael plan to use 5 or 6 baths in their system including: 

• An initial mulch bed (a natural grease trap and can be converted to a worm farm to process any food particles from the kitchen sink) 

• A series of baths containing baffles, scoria and reeds to slow down and clean the water 

• A final bath for holding the resulting water which may be converted into a pond in future 

Setting up a system like this requires quite a bit of manpower, so come in your work clothes with gloves and closed-toe shoes, ready to move some mulch and scoria! If you’re more of a plants person, you may want to help with transplanting reeds into the system once the baths are set up. 

Lunch provided.
