Capillary action (try putting a cloth on the edge of a sink, only a tiny corner touching water - it soaks uphill), and the mycellium also transports it to trade with the plants, and the plants grow their roots down to the water (making them stronger and more resilient).

The way I look at it, that is one of the problems that a greywater system could solve - we would understand that we have to use detergents and body products etc that are not toxic to ourselves and the world we are a part of. Many products are available that biodegrade quickly and easily (you can even use the nuts from Horse chestnut or Ohio buckeye etc). This is one step towards a world we want to live in and leave for the next generation 👍

@@ecologicaldesignurbanmanitoba I totally agree. That is why I am not for climate change. Climate has always changed and will always change weather we are on earth or not. What I worry abut is pollution but of course it not only does not make money big companies (pharma, agriculture, bankers, etc.) and their minions (politicians/govs) but it will also cost them money. so they rather fool us with climate change, cow fart, CO2 level nonsense, etc. Unfortunately many people fell for it and the real environment killer (pollution) is being ignored. If "they" really cared for the environment, they would stop making short lived stuff and go back to making stuff that last for generation. But no, they just want to sell and sell and sell garbage to us. They also fool us using "recycle" scam. over 95% of things we think we are recycling end up in the landfill and only a small percentage is being recycled. Also sometimes recycling takes more intense chemical and the damage it does is worse than just putting the thing in the landfill. That is unfortunate but that is what it has come to under their "leadership".. Sad and sick.

@nbeizaie @morganhough1022 also worth adding that in Austraila (where water is scarce, and 6 million people use rainwater for all of their household water needs), greywater to garden installations are so common that there is a national standard for household products to certify them as 'Garden Safe'. So this type of set up has already been implemented and found to be highly beneficial in other places, we just need to learn from the existing examples.

Hi Franz, that was our dream for a long time too, but now that we've got our permaculture design on our little 100' x 50' urban lot (15 x 30 m) established we're overwhelmed with the amount of abundance there is. I don't think we'd have the time to manage any more land ha ha! Maybe you don't need to leave the city to live out your dream of living in a rich natural setting?

They make my hands feel kinda tingly for a couple days after. Maybe I'm just "A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production", but I kind of like it?!

@@samivelable It depends :). The raised beds wick a lot of their moisture up out of the 'irrigation trails'. But first thing in spring, when the seedlings are still young and their roots are small, we do need to do some hand watering with jugs (or straight from the hose that comes off the rain barrels). But after the annual veggie roots get deeper, then they can access water in the 'irrigation trails' long after it has rained. Mulching the raised beds also helps reduce the need to water by hand and protect the plants, while feeding the soil. :)

I had a similar experience with a chickadee. Although, I don’t feed birds directly with bird seed, I have many plants that create a foodscape for wildlife. As I was sitting on my patio chair, a chickadee perched very close by, looked at me and made a few calls as to say thank you for providing the food and space. Well, at least that was my interpretation.
