Use graywater...unpermitted systems for laundry to landscape and single
fixture (shower or bathtub) are now legal, also easier to permit legal
systems. Go see Art Ludwig in Santa Barbara, he has been doing this for
years. www.oasisdesigns.com

I live in santa barbara Ca. 7074 Casitas Pass Rd, Carpinteria, Santa
Barbara, California 93013
. my problem is I planted my trees over 25 years ago and now I find that
water in my biggest cost. I was wondering if i can put in swales after the
trees have been planted. It would be a dream if I can cut down on elec. for

the well. my guess would be in the winter when the ground is soft from rain

I could hand dig swales uphill from a group of trees. I guess i don't
understand swales that well but can u do a few trees at a time or even one
tree at a time or a small line of trees.you think if the trees have been
there 20 years or so on drip that roots will be deep enough to suck up
water from a swales in Santa Barbara. Do we get enough rain?
