  One person's biodegradable soap & very little grease/waste, etc.
greywater is not the same as someone's very greasy, regular dish
soap, lots of scraps, etc. greywater?

Sounds great!  Do volks really develop that much greywater in their
campspots?  I am pushing it if I  1/2 fill a 2-3 gallon dish pan,
etc.  Now,  I can see wanting something big for an extended stay in 1
spot, but for a weekend trip, how much greywater does the average
westy camper make?
