Cob: Circular Foundation

[Taylor Publishing-DirtCheapBuilder]

I got into an argument with the plumbing guy down at Home Depot. He 
asked me why I needed to plumb a small sink, and I told him I was 
putting in a 'garden greywater system'. He told me that it was against 
the law, and he couldn't help me, and that I would contaminate my 
neighbors. I said, "With what, garlic?"
++++++++++++
Good answer...he is wrong on that, but city inspectors do keep an eye so 
bacterial growth from kitchen sinks, etc don't infect water/streams 
nearby, this CAN be a problem by DIY greywater folks.

. but there is a lot of info on it, and if you surge-tank the water, and 
follow basic guidelines I see no problem ever.

Art Ludwig's book on Branched Drain systems ( instead of all to one 
spot)  allows one to plumb to various areas outside , i.e. off the 
master bath, off the laundry room to places one needs to water the 
yard/garden etc.


PS the core area great idea..have fun and do NOT let  the planner drive 
you crazy..all of society is geared to keep us in line and behaving 
conventionally...you get no positive reinforcement  that you are doing 
the right thing (outside of like-minded friends or  folks on email 
groups like this)
