When building the cabin here at EIIPH, I needed somewhere to send the kitchen water and shower water, so i dug a little hole next to the house and sent it there and filled it with woody mulch.  I transplanted a cattail in the bottom and a sedge, and a willow branch.  For some reason neither the c...

(Mixing the three is n...
