Hi Andy and all, Where will the water be discharged to from the drains? Is it going out to a septic system, a grassy/vegetative area, or just into the ground? Thanks. Robert From: Market-farming [mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org]
On Behalf Of Andy Fellenz I pull the tops off of the drain several times a year and muck out the drain. I have a filter piece at the transition to the drain pipe that catches larger chunks before the water gets in the drain pipe. This seems to catch most of the
soil and all of the large particles/pieces of vegetable matter before the wash water is actually in the drain line.
