I did this at my River home and used plastic drums instead of paying $95.00 for each 4 foot section of Aeration that Septic Company charged at my home in town, that septic system cost me$10,000 after replacing entire system. I avoided inspections at river home. These drums are essentially the same thing at a fraction of the cost Septic Companies rip you off with. This is great if you can avoid health department regulations and inspections. Great job! Hope folks learn they can save money doing this with their septic tank as well.

[@davidsnow9453]

Well heck that's smart, what a cool idea, water the garden and reduce the volume going into septic at the same time.

[@wandawilliams3110]

Excellent idea.. This kind of gardening is sooooo important. Trail of all kinds. We had white picket fencing installed seven years ago. And since we are now on what's a main toad, due to district and business change. We had to come up with disguised gardening. To keep the city and neighbors from complaining. You'll be amazed at how folks don't know plants, thank God. The last three years, we've planted our sweet potatoes, right out front. He's allowed the vines to go all along the fence. Those beautiful purple blooms are stunning on the white fence. Last year. we planted okra, around some solar pole lights. We get all kinds of compliments on our beautiful flowers. Lol. And when he dug up the tubers last year, one of the neighbors said.. They sort of look like sweet potatoes. But. everyone knows they grow on trees. And this man, is older than we are. So, our potatoes and okra. is safe for now.. Well see what we can ease in somewhere next growing season. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to your results.

[@albanymountainhomestead]

Do a noodle or purple beans, it will look ornamental

[@theIAMofME]

scarlet runner beans??? They are BEAUTIFUL!! Also, rainbow chard!!

[@tubularguynine]

Wanda Williams - You can plant a raised bed of Jerusalem artichokes and eat the roots like potatoes, and the plants look like sunflowers!

[@wandawilliams3110]

tubularguynine We're seriously looking at the artichokes. But, we're researching, what type, and how they will do in our area. Thank you, for the idea.

[@wandawilliams3110]

theIAMofME .. The swiss chard, may work in containers. Were afraid of anything else, that will run. Thank you for the idea.

[@henryrodgers3409]

Boss of the Swamp did that a few years ago at his cabin . He wasn't concerned about watering any plants . Just removal of gray water . System works great so far .

[@debsmith8936]

Thank you Danny and Wanda for sharing this very useful video. God Bless you all🙏🌺🌴

[@vmorganbogart]

Great system! It gets rid of the gray water & waters the plants at the same time. It keeps from filling up the septic system. Win-Win. Thanks for sharing. You are so inventive! Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️😁

[@MsFarmer567]

Great illustrations; you’ve given me a great idea cause I live on a 10-acre farm and I’ve been researching for a system that will work with me that economically safe, inexpensive to fit my budget,; and I can see how blend in the mulch system with your. Thanks for th info ; God Bless you to keep making videos to help so many lost DIY’er, take care

[@SandysAdventures]

Fantastic! I know you can't wait to get it all done. No more hauling buckets outside!

[@jemmiestone5731]

Your Grey Water System is coming right along. God Bless You and Wanda.

[@gerrymarmee3054]

I’m learning a lot from this.

[@karenl6109]

Wanda this is brilliant! When we were there and you were trying to explain this to me, I didn't quite understand. What a great way to utilize resources that would otherwise be wasted. Danny you are so ingenuitive!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Well you know I have a Hard time explaining what Danny is gonna do. But now you see it should work just fine.

[@20mcarroll02]

I did my grey water system similar, except I used chamber pipe. Basically I have a full blown septic system, just for grey water. I use a compost toilet.

[@mandy639]

Thats my plan. How are things works a year later?

[@20mcarroll02]

@@mandy639 works great, plus it is to code, so I can always put in a flush toilet if I ever wanted to.

[@scottbaruth6386]

Around the 8:30 mark you can really see the soil differences, or basically how deep the tiller on the tractor has worked the soil. I have a smaller tractor with matching tiller and notice that it really only gets down 6-8 inches, same with my walk behind tiller. I bought the Famers broadfork and am working my gardens with it, and breaking into that lower clay area. I noticed in my garden that the roots hit that layer and turn sideways, meaning that they are not using soil below 8 inches. The broadfork is 16 inches, and when I use it it really brings that clay up and the compost and dark soil go down deep. So my point is, even with a tractor, I think special hand tools have their purpose if you don't mind using a little elbow grease.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I agree.

[@SueLD]

Learned a lot by watching this.

[@tammyeaker655]

Enjoyed the idea and the video. I picked my greens tops only this a.m. and I am in the process of canning them up now. Enjoying a frugal lifestyle here in Louisiana preparing for the hard years ahead and enjoying learning from you BOTH. GOD Bless you with good health and happy productive gardening.

[@ErnieHatmaker]

Flipping it over is definitely a two person job!

[@garybartek]

nice video on how experience producing confidence to address solutions on construction projects. thanks Danny for the step by step details.

[@marybethham4967]

This was a smart thing to do. Love learning from these videos. Thanks

[@HOMESTEAD_AUS]

G,day guys just watched the series again as going to set a toilet system in a hut we have .Very helpful thank you .cheers wayne

[@alex31p]

Loved the component parts of this video. In a LCE as need for removal grey water this gives some useful info. Plant hydration is so important. I have all component parts for three patterns. Solar deep well with backup parts to totally redo well two more times if needed, with backup battery systems for pump. Have water tanks with all downspout and drainage components to harvest rainwater from house and barn on elevated platforms to allow gravity feed to gardens. Also a Bison hand pump by barn for another backup, springs, running branch, and lastly the Yellow River. Water is critical. Built a similar hotbox system this past fall but with 32 inch tall sides to allow growing cool weather food plants all year. A friend from church is giving me some rolls of polycarbonate clear sheeting used to build wind turbine blades. I will be experimenting on building similar framed bed as you did but likely 18 to 24 inches tall to accommodate greater plant height. All these things are to help sustain folks in community if things nosedive in the next 5 to 10 years. If nothing happens it was fun playing with the LEGOS.

[@denisewilson8367]

Great idea, and wonderful design. Thank you.

[@dale60jd80]

Found the answer, to the question I asked on the cold frame video! "I see said the blind man"

[@CiaofCleburne]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

[@marthaadams8326]

Excellent, could have used that last year when we had quite a drought after too much rain - can't seem to win some gardening years. Moderating the situation is great. I am also putting a water collection system in for my greenhouse which has a gutter system. It will sure save a lot of effort and time with the heated hose and the garage and the greenhouse - Whew - tired just thinking about it. And, it will hold some temperature also in the winter (and maybe summer). YEA! Great ideas I get from your videos even though not as far south as you are.

[@cindyhagan4069]

Good job, smart and really a great source of reuse of water.

[@kmpage333]

FYI, if some don't know, you can put Gypsum on the clay and make it more productive than sand.

[@vutran6404]

Could you share an update on that charmber system? Please! Thanks.

[@markhellwig1448]

I'd use 7/16" bolts with 2 flats, a nut and a nut.

[@gloriakipfer3144]

Great idea!!!!

Hello,pretty great idea I am Praying this works here for you two.Be well you all.It's very cold and pouring rains here in Ca.this Thursday.Much Love,me&Craig&Honey kitty.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡.........

[@daltonbedore8396]

so much good info, well presented! love it

[@pegsclips]

How smart IS THAT.

[@tubularguynine]

Good work, Danny and Wanda! A great idea to keep the ground moist during draughts . I'm putting a diversion pipe under the house to let my gray water drain onto the ground beside my septic tank so the washing machine water wont go in it and kill the bacteria, and so it'll never overflow.

[@CherylCold]

Im gonna do this..... with a spade!

[@Keiths1234]

🙏🙏🙏♥️🙂👍 Just like the Boss of the swamp

[@spiketaterman5181]

hopefully this works for gray water. I can tell you from bad experience those domes are terrible for a septic drainfield. They last about 17 years. Why this has been allowed is a mystery...

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Great ideal Danny

[@blessshikey1613]

I failed to understand how water get back to the garden ,would explain please

[@loisyoung595]

That's a great idea!!!!

[@chefboyrdanbh]

I figured you would put landscaping material instead of felt. Is it still working good? I'm gonna run me a grey water system after deer season to help my septic tank out. You know how this Sippi dirt is. My dirt around my field line is saturated and wont take anymore water. Thanks for the video!

[@Dr.sheetmetal07]

How far did you run it away from cabin?

[@kevin86674]

Hey Danny now you need to start raising red wiggler worms to fertilizer with.

[@kimedmonson3134]

🌼

[@indacouch253]

Odd question but will this same method work for hooking up to a toilet?

[@orion3267]

Will the water coming out the pipe going into your barrel system dig itself a hole as it splashes in there? I guess it depends on the flow but the pipe sits at the top of where it discharges. That's what leads me to believe it will dig itself a hole over time.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Theres a lot of rocks in the sand even if it does once it reaches the clay it will spread throughout the sandy gravel.

[@jeffbluejets2626]

What was the name of the black material placed over the half drums.?...Watched that section a few times but did not catch the name of it.

[@claytonsimplot9554]

It's called felt( tarpaper ). It's a used on roofs underneath the shingles to waterproof the top of the building.

[@TheChucksg]

Can I use polypropylene for the gray water under the drum?

[@terriperry6360]

How long of a run would you say that is from cabin to barrells?

[@sweetearthfarm]

Do you use a special kind of detergent, soap and shampoo without chemicals?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

This is for the bath water and bath sink only. We don't use chemicals.

[@stevenreeves4766]

Well I do not think it will handle much water without any gravel.

[@daynight4902]

GOD BLESS

[@jazfarm5726]

How is the water not going to just puddle up under the sock pipe opening?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

The whole bed is 8 inches deep in pure sand water Will filter through it as it pours in

[@thymedreamer56]

Off subject question, how often do you sharpen your pocket knife?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Daily I'm rough on a pocket knife.

[@greenhornfarmer3598]

Danny I just finished watching this and have a question. You said that this is for the off grid cabin....Those of us who inspire to live that life full time would like to know the life span of a system like this system on a well and/or using rain water. Also are there codes for this sort of thing or can you just do one up on your place? Thanks, Chuck.

[@greenhornfarmer3598]

Sorry, I meant by code was this a county thing or a state thing.....

[@darlenedaniel3049]

The trick is to live where nobody cares what you do. 😂

[@greatbay1961]

Are you gonna run your washing machine through this as well? Funny you posted this I am thinking of doing the same thing in the near future, so basically you have made your own dome leech field am, I correct?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

This is for the off grid cabin. There is no washing machine. It is a dome leach field.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

It will be the bathtub and vanity sink only.

[@Progrocker70]

@@DeepSouthHomestead Is it ok to run a washing machine into this greywater leach field if you wanted to?

[@peppybobanny1157]

Do you have to put any drop on the field lines or just dig them level?

[@BelindaTN]

But I thought all the water on your place was chemical free. You have water wells that are untreated that you use. No?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

None of our water is treated.

[@greygrim4630]

What kind of pipe is that

Corrugated drain pipe. The covering is called a sock or a sleeve.
