We've been off grid for three months now and working through solar, grey water, predator, ....you name it, issues. Challenging, but ugh...tiring too. Could use some help!
On occasion we have been smelling foul odors from the greyeater barrel. I scrape, wipe down dishes, yet I still get get food scraps in the barrel. (Thank you, children. :-/) Any pointers? Can products like Rid X be used to break down food particles and still be safe for the environment?
Also, I loved using baking soda/ vinegar wash for my hair. But the sodium is a no- no in the grey water from what I've read. Decent shampoos that don't cause issues with the greywater or ecosystem?
Thanks!
PS- I can only use my phone, no internet yet. Responses may be slow.
I was pondering how to fence an area to keep the goats and such OUT of my witch's garden. (ie-Herbs, medicinal plants, of course some pretty flowers!) I was thinking of planting lilacs around as a natural border along with these pallets would be extra pretty and the fact that they are free makes them down right beautiful! 
Very similar to the ones we have on our land, at about 8 feet or so, they are the right height.
