Aerobic waste system vs. plants
Q
Comments (9)
Here's the quick and easy answers: 1.) Yes, with some exceptions 2.) No. You can only grow vegetables if the vegetable garden is sited in an area where the water absolutely, positively will not reach it. 3.) No experience, but as a lifelong gardener, and a mostly organic one, I have long listened to frustrated organic gardeners trying to make an aerobic water treatment system fit into their overall organic program. 1. Most plants will be able to tolerate, and even thrive, if you have such a system. However, there are some plants that are very sensitive to excess moisture on their foliage, and you probably would want to site any sensitive plants like that as far from the water spray as you can. Also, a lot depends on your soil in your yard and how quickly it does or does not drain. Plants that absolutely must have good drainage/cannot stand constantly wet soil may struggle in less than perfectly well-drained soil since they will have an almost constant supply of water. 2.) It is not recommended that you grow vegetables, nuts or fruits of any kind in an area watered by an aerobic septic system. It just isn't safe. No matter what anyone tells you--even if someone swears they have done it for years with no ill effects, you still shouldn't do it. If you have watched the news these last few years, you probably have heard of the problems with salmonella-contaminated tomatoes in 2008, as well as salmonella or E. Coli-conaminated crops the last 3 years, including melons, lettuce, green onions and spinach. How does such contamination occur? The major way is via contact between the plants/produce and either animal OR human manure. In some countries which export produce to the USA, the field crops ARE fed/watered with humanure (human manure) and that can be a major source of crop contamination. There is also the issue of other stuff being in the wastewater, including any medications taken by anyone in your household which might be excreted in human waste. 3. No experience here. I know from talking to people who have these systems that some of them work great and some don't. I think a lot depends on how well the system is maintained. Some organic gardener homeowners "feed" either sugar or molasses to their system to encourage the aerobic process to function at its highest level. Also, be careful about what chemicals go down your drains because too many chemical cleaning agents, soaps, and bleach can kill the aerobic digesting agents and mess up the system. If it were here at my home, I'd look for a solution so I could still have a vegetable garden and fruit and nut trees. Some people in Texas have managed to hook up their water spray part of the system to drip irrigation lines to keep the stuff down low to the ground instead of having it thrown around in the air. This makes it possible to grow veggies in containers without the water spraying on them. Goodl luck. I hope you get advice from someone who actually has one of these systems and can tell you first-hand how they manage their system and their gardening. Dawn

multiple head shower---problems w/hot water
Q
Comments (3)
it is a moen assembly sorry I don't know the actual valve models--no paperwork on that from the original owners and the plumber took the info I used to order the part--the part I ordered/replaced was 1423 Balancing spool Moentrol maybe something like this for the two-head control http://www.moen.com/products/T4111ORB ours is oil-rubbed bronze and it is installed with the lever at the top and the pull-out valve under it which looks the opposite of the Moen site photo the info on the Moen site says that it should turn from 'full cold to full hot' but there are stops the plumber came back out and said that when he put in the balancing spool he had opened the hot stop all the way and that if he closed the cool stop that it would not do any good because the balancing spool would basically just reduce the flow of water to make sure the balance of hot/cold stayed the same... he said that there is movement underway to basically take the choice out of amount of hot water coming through faucets and showers--that safety of not burning/scalding people is overriding someone's desire to have a 'HOT' shower... when I asked about replacing the valve/lever with one that would swing right/left to allow me to regulate the balance of hot/cold... he said it would be too expensive to actually change the control to that type of fixture because we would have to open up the shower wall--take out tile--replace it... so we are basically stuck with either setting the water heater to higher temp because that will bring hotter water to the mix and will be expensive choice or just learning to live with it like it is I plan to take a shower in the two upstairs showers and see if their water is hotter than the one downstairs--- he said that the master shower is probably farther from the water heaters--and it might be farther than the other downstairs shower by just a little...which would influence the water temp at the head... both water heaters are upstairs and closer to those showers... it is just very frustrating to find out that something we really did not consider all that much would become so frustrating... I don't take long showers--and I don't use the big tub at all--don't consider that I waste water compared to larger families or people who take a 15 min shower...so this irks me to no end-- our old house with its old shower had wonderful hot water and I am really going to miss it...

Happy Birthday Greenthumb! Trailrunner, good thoughts for you being sent your way. Segbrown, hmmm, your home looks a little like mine. Okay, I have read (skimmed) through all of these and I am going back to bed!!! I am exhausted just reading about all of the plans!!! I started my weekend with some plein aire painting with a friend. Oh gosh, after this summer, it was pure heaven to sit outside. Saturday was lots of baseball, football on tv. Sunday afternoon, bought steaks and ribs to cook on grill - well, hubby will get to do that and no company so some will be tossed in freezer. Today, if I don't go back to bed, will put away some glassware (bowls,etc) that I have had sitting in my studio to paint. Uhm, not paint on the glassware, but to paint their image on canvas. Even talking of painting relaxes me so maybe I will go dry my hair and head to the studio! Best wishes to all.

73 cloudy and gloomy here in our area of Georgia. We will probably have rain "again". The high is to be 86 but I doubt it will make it. We may go to Lowes to get some insulation. Starting to prepare for winter.

Because of YOU Glenda, "I" thought to take up water aerobics when I ripped my knee. :0) My knee was healing and I ran across the street so I wouldn't be late to class and re-ripped it. Aaaaaahhhhhh.....so is life....eh? I'll start back next week. They also have FREE yoga class immediately after which I also was attending.

I'm walking on the treadmill, doing crunches holding weights....

The forecast says windy and warm. Um, since when is 90 warm? What describes hot? ;) I'd say it was more like mug-GY and hot. We're slated for rain and cold front tomorrow (drops 15 degrees), so I'd really expect some big thunderstorms and/or tornado type activity. That big a drop often precipitates bad weather. I am, however, driving the convertible to work with the top down every day. We've been enjoying that.

Had to get my back X-rayed today after which I did a little browsingÃ¢ÂÂ¦.Chico's, Tuesday Morning and Goodwill. Bought Georgy some stuffed animals at Goodwill. Figured if I'm going to buy her toys that she's going to tear apart, I might as well be donating to a good cause. Bought some readers and cocktail napkins at Tuesday Morning and didn't see anything I wanted at Chico's. Later I have to go to the Chiropractor. Looking for some relief from back pain so I can golf on Friday.

Met friend for lunch today. She wanted to take me out for my birthday. We went to a little country diner in a town in between the two of us. Sat and talked for a couple hours.

Now doing laundry and thinking of weed eating, even though it looks like it's going to pour rain any minute. Backyard is looking rough.

Its 87 right now with storms in the area. Went to the orthodontist this morning and also the meat and produce market. Home for the day now! I have a roast in the crockpot. Not really crockpot weather but I need something easy to eat because I got braces on Monday. My teeth were really starting to shift-had to do it. Pitied myself and got a pumpkin pie blizzard for breakfast/lunch this afternoon. I really miss water aerobics.

Sun finally came out and it has ended up being a beautiful day. We did go to Lowes and got the insulation we are needing. Temp got up to 80 so it might make it to 86.

Well, today is my short day. I worked graveyard, so just got up. Took me a long time to unwind this morning to sleep.I think I fell asleep around 7 am.

Going swimming. I found a local therapy pool. I always hated our community pool. This one is for 18 and older and new so not many people know about it yet. I have an Ai Chi class today. I go twice a week and then on other days I do open swim when no other class is going on.

It is paying off. I am so excited. I have been doing it for 3 weeks. 2 months ago I started dieting too,( was pre diabetic) to get my blood sugars down. They are!!! I am have also lost 10 pounds and my joints are so much better! Last night at work I had no trouble squatting and standing without pulling myself up off a shelf or pushing myself up with a lot of huffing and puffing. My joints felt so limber!

Then dinner and that is all for me today. Usually takes me this whole day to make up for graveyard.

Good for you, cwnev!

I've been doing water aerobics over 15 years.

When I miss several days, my body tells me so.

I love it!

Frigid 70's and going downhill from here. Would love some warm 90's to enjoy the outdoors. Tooth extraction spot was annoying all day, but subsiding with Happy Hour. A few more and I won't care! Shopped after work, and picked up two $40 items for $8 ea. Love 80% off. Almost ready for that Chop Suey.

Glenda....I did water aerobics & yoga for a week before I re-injured my knee. The water felt like a massage and there's a hot tub several of us get in afterwards. I like the company of the ladies.There are 2 sessions and both are really FULL. I was surprised @ how little they charge for the class.

It's a really nice social activity.

Hey, Glenda - guess what I did the other day! I took my very first water aerobics class, motivated mostly by your comments and pictures here about it. I've needed some exercise so gave this a try and loved it. It sure wasn't as easy as some might think!

Thanks!
