$20Learn how to convert your own washing machine into a water-saving laundry-to-landscape greywater system. This system is low in cost, doesn’t require a permit, and is great for irrigating trees, bushes, and other perennial plants.

The workshop will cover:

* Best plants to water with greywater
* Common pitfalls and how to avoid them

Installation site is located in Berkeley, CA. Lunch is provided for this workshop.
