Water Harvesting Open House 
Saturday, Dec. 5, 2009 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Come see water harvesting in action! Guided by Water Harvesting Professional and Permaculturist, Brook Sarson, you'll see how a 1320 gallon rainwater tank combined with laundry greywater and bath greywater work together to grow a garden of edibles using only 1/4 of the water that most San Diegans use each day.

As you tour this urban farm setting, you'll see natural building techniques including a cob chicken coop, decorative benches as well as an earth pizza oven. Brook will be on-hand to talk to you about solutions for your space and how you can make a difference during San Diego's water crisis and beyond.

 

Please feel free to arrive at any time during the open house to learn about simple greywater systems, do-it-yourself options, rainwater-harvesting systems, resources, or schedule an appointment with Brook to assess greywater opportunities at your site. Suggested donation of $5 will go toward supporting water activism in San Diego. Please RSVP to Brook at brook@h2o-me.com or call 619.964.4838 and I will give you the address.

Make Your Own Rain Barrel Workshop

Saturday, Dec. 5, 2009.  2:30- 4:30pm

Are you ready for the rain?  If you’ve been looking for a cost effective way of saving rainwater, we are offering a solution.  Come and make your own rain barrel to take home!  Britt Cool, from American Recyclers and Brook Sarson, of H2OME will host the class.

We will provide clean, recycled 55 gallon drums along with a kit of parts to tap it for a hose fitting on the bottom and an overflow on the top.  You will be able to drill your holes and assemble your barrel onsite.  

We will talk about filtration, mosquitoes, how to figure out your water resources, uses for your rainwater, as well as other rainwater harvesting techniques. 

After the class, you can purchase additional barrels and kits, if you choose. 

The cost of the class is $60.  You can upgrade your tank choice for $5.  We have a couple of scholarships available.  Additional Barrels are $32.  We accept cash or checks.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Kind Regards,

Brook Sarson
