own simple greywater irrigation system?
we will be teaching a greywater class and
hands-on workshop where you will learn
all about greywater and then participate in

converting a washing machine to safe,
legal greywater reuse. this type of system
can be installed by a reasonably handy
person in a weekend for around $150 in
parts.

the workshop will take place at a lovely
house in altadena. no prior construction
