	Stagnant water with food in it is bad because it helps bacteria grow. Without water, bacteria cannot grow on small amounts of dried food. If there is too much food then the water cannot evaporate fast enough, and bacteria can grow. Eating utensils and containers should be thoroughly licked clean, so that any water left can evaporate quickly so bacteria cannot grow. This also helps reduce wasted food. Dried food can then be scraped and washed away fairly easily.		Stagnant water with food in it is bad because it helps bacteria grow.

	Not all bacteria is bad, though. In fact, the septic system at HabLab requires a certain amount of bacteria to break down solid waste. Because of this, it is important to avoid using anti-bacterial soap at all drains that lead to the septic tank.		Not all bacteria is bad, though.

Created page with '=Human waste= We have a humanure bucket. The plants need water. =Cleaning= We have a sink in the cordwood now. We have a shower in the greenhouse. ==Water== Water can be obta...'

New page

=Human waste=
We have a humanure bucket.
The plants need water.

=Cleaning=
We have a sink in the cordwood now.
We have a shower in the greenhouse.

==Water==
Water can be obtained from the [[hand pump]] on the well, the rain barrels in the greenhouse, and the streams nearby.

==Bacteria and water==
Stagnant water with food in it is bad because it helps bacteria grow. Without water, bacteria cannot grow on small amounts of dried food. If there is too much food then the water cannot evaporate fast enough, and bacteria can grow. Eating utensils and containers should be thoroughly licked clean, so that any water left can evaporate quickly so bacteria cannot grow. This also helps reduce wasted food. Dried food can then be scraped and washed away fairly easily.
