Waste water from the washing machines enters on one side and comes out filtered on the other side, ready to be used to water the garden. The watering can also be automatized and connected directly to the Biogarden water outlet. The treatment tank is one meter deep (in the case of the eco-hotel Arbol de Fuego) and is composed of different layers of volcanic rocks and specific plants (See illustration below). In the video, Carolina mentions a type of grass that needs 3 times less water to grow than common grass. She explained to me later that these grasses are: Mani forrajero (arachis pintoi) and dichondra.
