Best waste-water filtering plant
Posted by Cecilia under: Environment; Home .
Installing a grey water system without filtration is possible when some rules are followed.
One of these rules is to lead the grey water into a mulch basin before it reaches fruit trees or even vegetables. The grey water is filtered by the soil and by plants in this basin.
According to a research made by NASA there is one special plant with an incredible capability of filtering waste water. The Water Hyacinth literally thrives on sewage and can absorb astonishing amounts of pollutants.
NASA was testing the water-filtration capability of hyacinths with the long range goal of developing a bioregenerative life support system for long duration spacecrafts.
The result of this study is applicable to use right here on Earth. The primary consideration before you plant is if the water hyacinth is native to your region.

Wow! I didn’t know plant could do that. Imagine what a whole farm of those flowers could do.

The easiest way (which is a little expensive) is to buy 2 VPN capable Routers, with statics public IP addressed on both ends…. with those setup it will be like both computers are networked at the same location
