My dear friends,
I thought you might be interested in this Abundance of Water Garden & Home eco webinar, created by my friend Alosha, which is starting online next week - for free: https://ou369.isrefer.com/go/1618/yury/
In these 3 online video tutorials you will learn:
* How to transform your garden & home into a living paradise whilst getting 5 uses from waste water
* A full tour of our off the water grid garden with 4 types of DIY discrete water storage options
* How all the different homemade water eco systems work together in a city garden
* How to safely utilise all of your kitchen water in your garden though a start to finish DIY project
* How to completely avoid water restrictions

If you're able to collect 21,000 liters (5,548 gallons) of grey water per month, I'm thinking your first step aught to be trying to conserve water.  Even the average house in the USA (which is quite wasteful) doesn't produce anywhere near that much grey water per month.


FWIW My wife and I use less than 6,000 liters (~1,560 gallons) per month(in just the house, not the garden), we harvest about 1/2 of that as grey water.  We cold probably get a little more, but diminishing returns make it not worth the cost/effort.

I see no problem in this. Less grey water makes it easier. You have a chance to ask this question directly to the author.

My Russian friend and inventor developed an Off-The-Water-Grid eco dome home with it’s own:
* custom gutter for RAIN WATER HARVESTING
* micro bio char treatment plant for RAIN WATER FILTRATION,
* 3 types of WATER STORAGE including an UNDERGROUND BUNKER
* earthship inspired botanical cell for GREY WATER UP-CYCLING

There are also a few other simple DIY projects such a natural pool conversion, a flood proof wall, custom bath sand bag bath as well as terraces that transform your garden into a living sponge.

Alosha is living in the north of Russia and is currently developing cold climate eco tech…
He has currently lowered the price of both of his online courses from $99 to $50.
Check out his Water Self Sufficiency or Eco Dome home Training by kicking on the links below:

I looked up Alosha and found his site - he still offers online courses and consultations. Very cool earthships, hobbit house, etc.

https://www.bioveda.co/

I'm interested in his hobbit house model for an office/storage space in Central Texas.
