Interested in learning how to retrofit a home to collect rainwater and recycle greywater? Come to this double workshop on rainwater/greywater to learn how. The morning will be about rainwater harvesting. There will be a presentation on rainwater harvesting and then build a 250 gallon system using rainbarrels. During lunch there will be an opportunity to meet individually to discuss your rainwater or greywater plans. After lunch everyone will learn about simple, low tech greywater systems and then build a system from the washing machine to irrigate fruit trees. The cost is a sliding scale; pay what you can—limited work trade available. Lunch is included.
To register, please email Amy at the address below. The location will be announced once registration is complete.
