Grey water
May. 18th, 2009 12:50 pmHas anyone got experience of, or knowledge about, collecting grey water for garden use?
My current plan is to attach a water butt to the external downpipe from our shower, like the one that collects rainwater on the guttering downpipe. What do I need to consider?
For example, does gribble collect in the butt, that might need clearing out or treatment? What's the pH of the collected water going to be like? Do you need to let it stand before using it on the garden? And other such things that I haven't thought of.
