The grey water system is complete!!!
We used a metal trough instead of the bed that we made from 100 year old wood… just because it seemed a little sturdier and would require less maintenance.
But those beds won’t go to waste… we’re using them for garden beds instead.
Back to the grey water system… our goal is to reuse our water, save money and help our environment.
So we dug a hole for the sump pump, cut the tubes to connect the system and petty much used resources from the land to fill the troughs – Two sizes of rocks, native soil, sand and plants, charcoal from a recent burn and compost.
The plan is to daisy chain several troughs to consistently clean the water and use the water for trees we’re planting around the land.
This grey water system is putting us closer to our ultimate goal of always striving to be more and more self sufficient – we’re reusing our water, using solar power to power the container, growing our own food, cooking with the sun and the list goes on.

We would love your ideas to make this process more fun, easier and of course more sustainable… so please send any photos and comments to our Facebook and Instagram pages!
