This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Greywater and Willow Feeders.

For this Badge Bit you will take an existing greywater-fed mulch pit, and re-plumb the distribution so the greywater is split equally between two mulch pits.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
   New mulch pit is at least 10’ away from the existing mulch pit
   Show how you are making sure that the greywater is split roughly 50/50
       (note that a simple “T” or “Y” often sends 90% or 100% of the flow down one path - so we need to see how you are preventing that)

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must show proof of the following (as pictures or a video < 2 mins):
 - show before, progress, and after of re-plumbing a greywater-fed mulch pit to split greywater equally between two mulch pits
 - demonstrate that it meets the above requirements
 
After some pecan pie, you might want to cleanse your palate with this tiny ad:
