Can I water my garden with bath water?
Question:
Answers:
my mom saves her dish wash water for her plants, soapy water is good for the plants as it will discourage sap sucking insects from attacking the tender new growth. This is a fact.
plus it is biodegradable and environmental approved.
I wouldnt, soaps and other cleaners can kill plants
Yes so long as it do-sent have lots of bath oils in it
yes you can and you'll earn eco brownie points if you do,
Sure you can, as long as you haven't used any strong liquids in it, soap and bubble bath will not harm your plants and you would be doing mother earth a favor recycling you water, if you can get a hose out of the bathroom window you siphon the water off and use it to keep you garden full of wonderful plants.
You surely can water your garden with bath-water as long as it is cool first. What a wonderful conservation habit to get into.
I disagree.. you can. soaps contain surfactants that can help water be absorbed more efficiently. the use of organic soaps (like Dr. Bronner's) by you would be even better..
Flower garden, yes. Vegetable garden, no.
Check with your local health inspector Some citys the is a $10,000 fine
Some folks don't like the smell of grey water on a hot, humid Aug day
yes the soap content destroys a lot of garden pests especially on rose bushes
yes all my dish water and bath water is directed on to my garden
Yes as long as it's used within a couple of days some people direct into a butt.
the best thing to do with it is put it in a water butt for a week or so, any spare water, you can get a neutralizer tablet for the water, I do..!
