Using grey water for watering veggies?
We have our sink set up to catch grey water (ONLY water and ecover washing up Liquid, nothing else) and wondered if anyone here had experience of using grey water in their veggie garden?
I am asking this question directly to Ecover as well but wanted some input from other gardeners. As a eco friendly common bug is soap and water would it be safe to use my washing up water on the plants in my green house?
What are your thoughtss?
EDIT: To clarify, yes it is a kitchen sink. The plates are scraped then dunked in a little hot (plain) water to remove the worst of the grease (this water then goes onto my dogs dry food
The dishes are then washed as normal. The water goes directly from the sink to a bucket under the sink so no pipe work involved (no sewage risk). The plants in the greenhouse are all veggies waiting to be planted outside in a couple of weeks so nothing should build up in containers.
I think I covered everything
Crooect me if I AM wrong please
As long as there is not too much grease in the water from the dishes, it will be fine. The grease can make the soil less able to take up water and nutrients. But yes, you can use it on your vegetables.
Are you collecting rainwater also?
