The grey water recycling wiking bed, still giving good greens eight years on.DIY Grey Water Wetland:
Grow
Abundant Harvests While Recycling Your Kitchen Grey Water
Discover a practical, budget-friendly way to reuse your kitchen grey water and grow healthy vegetables with the DIY Grey Water Wetland 2018.
This Amazon Kindle book shares a personal gardening journey in which the author herself built a wicking bed system fed by kitchen grey water that continues to produce lush crops after 8 years of continual use without changing the soil.
Why recycle Grey Water in Your Garden ?
During Cape Town’s devastating drought in 2017-2018, water scarcity made one thing clear: every drop counts. Grey water – from the kitchen sink, showers and laundry is a largely untapped resource that, when carefully managed, nourishes plants and saves precious mains water.
This book guides you through my process during the construction of a permaculture inspired, drought tolerant wicking bed system that safely filters kitchen grey water underground, supporting ongoing vegetable growth even through our six month dry season.
What makes this book different ?
It is written from a hands on and personal point of view. It is not intended to be a technical manual, but a straightforward, honest reflection on building and improving a grey water wicking bed at home.
Proven success
The wicking bed has given me over eight years of growing leafy greens like chard and lettuce, herbs and occasional experiments with other vegetables, all without needing to replace the soil.
Learning from mistakes
Includes practical advice to avoid pitfalls such as blockages with upgrades to larger standard plumbing piping.
Simple materials and low cost
Designed for home gardeners on a low budget, with reducible with reclaimed materials.
Safe and legal
Common urban regulations and meeting their standards is a goal.
