 This mulch shield allows for a gap between the pipe and mulch at the bottom of the shield. It also allows for occasional inspection. A stone should be placed on top of the shield to indicate the placement of the shield and to prevent debris from filling it.

Water from the shower flows into this surge tank via a 2" pipe (top), and exits slowly via a 1" pipe (bottom). The 1" pipe enters the wetland via a buried, screened infiltrator.

Bamboo grown with greywater infiltrated into mulch basins.

This greywater outlet pipe is supported on a splash block (small piece of concrete) so the emerging greywater will not carve a hole.
The pipe will be covered with mulch to protect it from the sun. 

 Two channel locks are used here-- one to spin on the fitting, while the other holds the three way valve firm
and prevents the whole assembly from spinning.  You can get much more "traction" using tools in opposition
to each other this way.

Humanure is moved to barrels for final composting. The barrels are vented (not shown) and screened. Humanure is left for one year to compost, then used as a soil ammendment in the yard.
