It’s great to see greywater recycling getting some traction. I just wanted to let you know that I think your blog posts are really great. They are informative and interesting, they always promote the eco-cause yet offer veriety in doing so. I really like the post titled “watering trees from my washing machine.” I have created a community for people interested ingreywater recycling (also rainwater) and I would love for you to join. We need experienced people in the water harvesting field to help answer questions and encourage people in their persuit to live a more resource-responsible lifestyle. http://www.waterharvestonline.com Thank you again for all of the terrific posts and keep it up!
