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
My washing machine drains right out onto my garden . I use biological
powder. Everything which gets the washing machine water seems to be
thriving.
The water from the shower also has a pipe to take the water to the base of
my clematis montana (bathroom is downstairs)
wtaer from scullery sink,which has no mains drainage is caught in a bucket
and emptied on the front garden.I use bleach occasionally to soak the
dishcloths and sponges and the water from the dishwasher in the scullery
discharges directly onto the from garden herb patch and the mint, fennel
ladies mantle etc are thriving. HTH
