Wastewater Treatment Plant

When we got to Bimbi there were septic tanks around the park that treated the wastewater, and then the effluent went into realm drains underground and the plants used the nutrients. It has been done this way for years and in sandy soil is very successful. We have taken it one step further. After the septic tanks all the effluent is now pumped to our treatment plant and treated. Without chemicals the effluent goes from a brown murky high nutrient liquid to something that looks like drinking water. It’s “B’ grade water which we can’t drink but can drip irrigate. This reduces our environmental footprint greatly.

Chickens

We have food bins at all our bin areas so guests can put their food scraps in. These bins go to our chickens, you can feed them yourself. We save 100s of bins of food scraps from going into land fill.

Chickens are a great recycler, they eat our food scraps, dig up and fertilise our soil and give us great eggs, every house should have a few.
