Wastewater garden

I think we should consider wastewater garden to be part of our eco-friendly house. It is an ecological low cost solution for effective sewage and wastewater treatment. It have proven to be more effective and affordable than conventional sewage treatment, especially in remote areas and tropical zones.

Just find this site which provide useful information about wastewater gardens: http://idepfoundation.org/wwg

Re: Wastewater garden

I'm not sure I'd be ok with using sewage water for my garden but I would/do use wastewater for it. I have a reservoir I use to collect rainwater and runoff water so I have water to use when there is no rain for several days/weeks. It's not very big but it definitely helps.

Great, Emraldo :) That is nice to have a rain harvesting reservoir at your house. I think in the future (maybe even now), it is more difficult to get clean water and collecting rain water will be one of the best and cheapest options.

Well, I will love to have a wastewater garden. The problem is that I have only limited available place to plant at my house.

I think the concept behind the wastewater garden is to purify gray and black water. So, the garden (the plants) themselves is not the main focus. Instead, the plants is used as a series of tools to treat the sewage water so that it is purified and safe for the environment.
