Grey water system

Finally SEPA (Scottish Environment Protection Agency) has come back and approved of our greywater treatment system. All I have to do now is convince the nice building control officers that I can construct and install a home made straw and woodchip filter to "British standards".

In the meantime I have started planting trees in the greywater discharge area and made a small "soakaway". Of course nothing will soak away as the ground water level is just 10-20cm below the surface this time of year. So the trees will have to grow quickly and soak up all the water coming out of our house. The soakaway is just there to prevent land movement over time.
