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 plumb a greywater fixture (sink, shower, washer, etc.) to drain to a mulch pit.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
   report on how the current mulch pit(s) are big enough for this greywater load
   making mulch pits are a different BB
   add signage telling people that this fixture drains to a greywater system.  Explain what is and is not okay to put down the drain.
   kitchen sink signs need to mention the value of filtering chunky bits
   fixture is inside a permanent structure

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 plumbing a greywater fixture to drain to a mulch pit
 - demonstrate that it meets the above requirements
