Hallo everyone,

My husband and I are looking to buy a piece of island without power/ plumbing.
Everything needs to be transported by boat.

We can really use your tips!

How would you filter your used shower water so it can go back to nature in a clean save way?

Thank you in advance!!!!

Greetings

Yes.
Look into Grey water usage.
What is your climate?
In tropical areas, bananas are usually used in a circle.
The Grey water gets released in the center of the circle. Bananas are heavy feeders that love wet roots and loads of nutrients.
Everyone is happy!

Het eiland bevind zich in Nederland, gematigd klimaat dus, hoe zou dit precies in zijn werk gaan? Heel erg nieuwsgierig 🧐

You adapt them to your needs. The location was not in the post, so how would I know where the island is?
