Drought-proof your landscape
Learn how to install the popular “laundry to landscape” (L2L) greywater system in this design workshop. (Note: This workshop is in Los Angeles and is on Sunday, Oct 12th)
Laundry to landscape greywater systems are simple, affordable, and easy to maintain. With your own L2L system you can irrigate your landscape each time you do laundry, saving you water, time, and resources.
