I will try to be brief. I know my sense of humour is not always
appreciated. On the Gold Coast, we are urged to save water.
What do you think about using dirty dishwater (including some
detergent) to water plants?
My friend reckons, detergent chases worms way. Is that true? If it is,
than maybe it is still OK to use the 'dishwater' to water plants in
containers, where worms are not welcome anyway?

I think it would be fine. Detergent are mostly phospahte (which is a plant
nutrient) - so think of it as fertiliser. The lawn will love it too. Keep
it away from natives and you will be fine.
