In this workshop we'll install a branched drain greywater system according to the principles we learned in the previous evening's lecture. We will split the water into 8 passive lines feeding fruit trees and other companion plantings.   We will discuss and design a guild for one of the trees and evaluate the earthworks.   

This will be a chance for homeowners to understand the logistics for shower, sink, and laundry greywater in a gravity-fed environment.  We will transform a gently sloping weed/lawn into a food providing resource, fed primarily from our reclaimed household water. 

The workshop will be led by Brook Sarson, water harvesting educator and permaculturist.  Through her business, H2OME, she has created many water harvesting landscapes throughout San Diego focusing on simple, cost-effective rainwater and greywater solutions.  For more information check out www.h2o-me.com
