This home
uses many state-of-the-art technologies in addition to a
NutriCycle System.
The Mini-Clivus, sized for a
2 bedroom house, fits nicely in the basement utility room. About 1
bushel of compost is removed during annual maintenance, and about
50 gallons of liquid fertilizer (composted urine) are removed in
the spring and fall. Both are recycled to the landscape around the
house. The hose is for spreading the liquid fertilizer.
Graywater is delivered to
the flowerbeds by way of a non-electric dosing siphon. The siphon
is hidden in the landscape by bushes and mulch. There is no septic
tank.
The graywater flowerbeds are
terraced into the hillside.
Graywater is distributed in
the irrigation troughs by a flooding dose. Nutrients and organic
matter are recycled to the vegetation; clean water is recycled to
the ground water.
