Anybody have a Greywater and/or Rainwater Recycling System?

I took a pic of my gutter/barrel/water trough set up so far. I still need to clean out the "trough" - I know it's dirty! But my babies aren't even here yet! I just got the fence up and had to wait until I did to set this up.

As for the white-water, unfortunately it runs right into my chicken run! So I covered it over with sod to keep the chickens from drinking it... it's an old system and it would take a LOT of digging to re-route it!

Sod over water drainage...

We attached a long flexible hose to the drain on the electric washer. Don't use anything in the wash that will harm anything so we can move it around and water what needs watering. When I hand wash, which is a lot since we have small loads, I just throw the water onto the grass.

nice pics and information. Yeah I need to get some rain barrels and set something up, I just cant have all that water go to waste.
I have planted native grasses in areas of my yard to trap the water so it doesnt run off (rain garden), but there is still plenty of good water I can put to good use
