A gang of mates, WWOOFers, and one brilliant greywater expert are right now transforming a mild-mannered Elwood courtyard into a kind of Water Nirvana, and we would love to have you join us. Good food, good people, bad music... maybe you can help us change that.The garden is encircled by a serpentine rill, which floods from tank twice a week, filling buried porus terracotta pots (wetpots), and a crushed brick swale, watering the garden of edibles and beautifuls with roof-captured water. This ingenious system was thought up by Greywater scientist Grant Harper, who is also a kind of Willy Wonka of making water do amazing things. Proactive people who want to help transform and water-proof this city are prefered. But just being sunny, positive and active is really enough. We've been at it for one week. Join us from Tomorrow (Wednesday July 23rd) until around Tuesday 29th, fore the big unveiling. See pics of the design and work in progress on www.balconyofdreams.blogspot.com and http://forums.permaculture.org.au/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7695 |
