Green Plants That Survive Gray Water

Water is the new gold.
As water grows scarcer, you will see imaginative ways to save the precious commodity.
That is what's so great about people, they can figure anything out!
The LA Times has a great article on grey water and planting.

Says the Times:
"Carol Bornstein, co-author of "California Native Plants for the Garden," found 13 public gardens using reclaimed water in the summer in her hometown of Santa Barbara, and she listed the native plants doing well in those gardens. Her list may be as useful for home gardeners as it is for park-keepers, particularly with planting season coming and more Southern Californians looking to recycle their gray water for use in the landscape."

Grey Water Coming Closer To California?

As reported in the LA Times:
"California may adopt a more lenient gray water code as early as August.
Under the new code, a clothes washer or other single-fixture, residential gray water system, such as a shower, could be installed or altered without a construction permit.

That’s a complete reversal of the present state requirement that homeowners installing systems to recycle the waste water from their sinks, showers, bathtubs and laundry machines conform to Appendix G of the California plumbing code, which requires that gray water systems not only be permitted by the appropriate administrative authority but installed underground with extensive filtering apparatus."

Good news, it is about time!
