Summer is almost on us (though it looks as though a frost is possible on
Monday) and if the forecasters are correct then it will be long and hot.
So what waste water is or is not acceptable to the garden? Will
soap, detergent, washing powder biological/non-biological, bath and
shower products render it useless? Any advice welcomed, by me and
perhaps many others.
TIA


I have several water butts attached to every downpipe ( actually standard
dustbins from Wickes are the best quality and cheapest storage with tight
lids )

I use the washing up water from the kitchen etc but not the from the washing
machine as the soap powder chemicals could damage plants

Bath water should be fine

Night water is wonderful for activating compost heaps
and the more compost you pile on your soil the less garden watering thats
needed in dry conditions
