Ecomachine

EcoMachine - As we face a future in which clean water will become less and less accessible, we must re-evaluate our wastewater treatment systems and develop them into more earth-based processes that utilize human knowledge of the natural world. Watch as students from the Ecosa Institute's summer Permaculture/Water Design Intensive construct an ecological wastewater treatment system, or Ecomachine, in Prescott's Ecohood under the direction and guidance of the system's creator, Dr. John Todd, and workshop coordinator Andrew Millison.

The picture showing when John talks about "bullrush" is of a cattail. They're not the same plant, right?

@buginsea

SAME PLANT- do your own research. GOOGLE OR BING are great search engines which help you in your search for answers!

@ druwin Actually the plant's botanical name is Typha angustifolia (or maybe Typha latifolia) often called a bullrush, its common name is the reed mace. That aside, it is an excellent plant for use in S.U.D.S (sustainable drainage systems) and other biological systems due to its natural ability to "clean" water, it is particularly useful in grey water recycling systems

Amazing what nature can do.

Thanks for posting.

[buginsea]

Thanks for the info. I did do some search, but Todd's description sounds more like another type of bulrush I encountered in wetlands - thin plants with golden flowers. Just curious

The name i think it was Kathe Seidel, if you search for seidel cattail on youtube you will find interesting studies and even a patent for water purification on floating beds...

Yes natural occurring, but its not the same as non-organic, cause synthetic man-made chemicals, doesn't act the same, cause fluoride itself is coming from the multi-national industry's like from uranium, weapon, chip industry what is a waste product and neuron-toxic, what is cheap to dump in the water, foods and to dump people down!
