A river basin is no place for an Jiaoren...just as Graywater's underbelly, is no place for a child.

How to collect & use kitchen grey water to conserve water and water your garden all at once!

1. Soap* up/scrub your dishes:

2. Put a big pot in your sink:

3. Start rinsing your dishes:

4. Mmmm, dirty dish water**:

5. Let cool a bit if you used very hot water, then water plants of your choice***:

Do look up the grey water regulations in your area, at least so you know them. Read up a bit more on greywater systems. This may or may not be legal in your area, but understanding why it is or isn't can help you decide how to safely incorporate water reuse into your life.

One of the common big ones is that your not allowed to just let the water sit there, or pool on the ground. A common tactic is to divert the water below the surface of the soil, which can be accomplished easily. Some people don't want you to use kitchen grey water because of concerns around bacterial contamination from raw meat, etc, so consider how you're going to deal with that.

* don't use chlorine or borax (I don't know anyone who does for dishes, but you can't be sure on the internet). If you're quite concerned about your soap, get one that's labeled environmentally friendly or whatever.

** I'm a vegan so I don't have to worry about this, but if you're not, make sure you don't use waste water from dishes that had contact with raw meat or eggs. Because of potential bacterial contamination.

*** soap is basic, so don't water acid-loving plants with this. Never allow the water to pool for any length of time. Here you can see that I'm watering a cucurbit, which are thirsty plants that appreciate extra nutrients.

I just got home from a five day trip and I have a migraine and four loads of laundry waiting so of course the first thing I want to do is build a proof of concept solar still.

Introducing Graywater for Android

Introducing Graywater, Tumblr’s framework for decomposing complex items in a RecyclerView list in order to improve scroll performance, reduce memory usage, and lay a foundation for a more composition-oriented approach to building lists. With Graywater, the app now scrolls faster and crashes less often, and it also gives us a solid foundation for building new features faster and better than before.

On screens that display posts, such as the dashboard, the Tumblr Android app customizes one adapter across multiple screens. This approach results in a complex adapter, and over time, our previous solution became difficult to manage and hard to reason about since there was no consistent place for screen-specific behavior.

Furthermore, each post type had its own layout and viewholder, which meant that once a user encountered a post type they hadn’t seen on that screen before, the entire post had to go through the inflate, layout, and draw process. Once offscreen, the post would take up large chunk of memory in the RecyclerView pool.

Graywater solves this by rendering only the parts of a post that are visible and reusing the parts of a post that appear in other posts, such as the header and footer. By breaking up a large post into smaller components, the UI thread has to do less on each scroll. Even though there are more view types, each individual view type is smaller, so memory usage is lower.

For example, a photoset post may be composed of ten photos, one after another. In the previous architecture, a photoset layout with headers and footers would be inflated and the photo views added in afterwards. If the viewholder is recycled and the next photoset post only has one photo, the extra photo views are discarded. With Graywater, each individual photo view is recycled separately, which allows RecyclerView to reuse the photo views that appeared earlier in the photoset.

This idea is based off of Facebook's post on a faster news feed and Components for Android, which have been open-sourced as Litho.

Graywater differs from other RecyclerView libraries by being small (a single file!) and flexible enough to work within your model architecture. For libraries like Epoxy and Groupie to accomplish sub-item recycling, complex items like posts need to be decomposed into smaller viewmodels beforehand. For Litho to flatten view hierarchies and perform fine-grained recycling, existing XML layouts need to be converted to layout specs.

By converting to Graywater, we’ve been able to reduce OutOfMemory errors by 90% and dramatically improve scroll performance. It is now much easier to add new item types that are composed of preexisting post components. We have also migrated screen-specific logic to the screen itself by injecting the customized component into the adapter. By open-sourcing Graywater, we’re hoping the Android community will achieve similar performance and architecture gains, and we’re excited to hear what the community builds next!

Laundry-to-Garden: How to Irrigate with Graywater

Rejigger your washing machine to irrigate your yard, rather than send that valuable freshwater to the sewer.
