A pond is a key element on our land. We use it as a final destination for our greywater, which is first filtered in our Helophyte/Reed Bed Filter. Here the last nutrients from the greywater are being absorbed by specific plants. These plants again attract various insects and animals, thus improving biodiversity. For us this is a beautiful example how our waste can suddenly be used to sustain other life forms, resulting in a symbiosis between humans and their environment. A pond is also usefull as a water reservoir for the dry summer months. We like to have our pond close to both our Vegetable Gardens and the Humanure Hacienda to easily water them when it’s necessary.
