Pond & wetland


The grey-water from the house (sink & shower water with no animal fats & only biodegradable soap) flows through irrigation tubing from the house to a swale that feeds the wetland. The wetland (4' deep) is connected to the pond by a narrow 1'deep channel. Native wetland plants will be used to filter the water before the overflow feeds the pond. Billy did this in 1.5 hours. To think that some say this steep land is useless. These terraces will nearly double the growing space.
