Default R/O filters - using drain water

Someone Somewhere wrote:

Is anyone using R/O filtration water and or the refuse or
to drain output water from thier R/O filters to water thier
gardens and or yard plants/ grass?

If so are you using a misting, drip or some other sort
of water distribution ?

TIA

The 'waste' output from an R/O system will have much higher mineral
content than the input water. If those minerals buffer the soil pH you
may need to amend the area watered by it or select plants appropriate to
the pH.
