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?

Many people I know use dish soap to wash their hands as well. I wanted to know if it is ok to do so because it is made for washing dishes and not.. well hands. There are some dish soaps that say it is also used for washing hands like Palmolive Antibacterial so I already know about those kinds.
Yes, any liquid dish soap is suitable for washing your hands. Soap is anti-bacterial to begin with…….that is why it’s soap! It washes your hands, therefore gets rid of bacteria. Liquid dish soap is formulated for skin contact because….well, you use your hands to do dishes. There are definitely those out there that are more mild on hands, but you just have to find what ones that don’t irritate or dry out your skin. It’s a wonder that people trust liquid dish soap to clean their dishes (on which they put food that ends up in their mouths and bodies) but doesn’t trust it to wash hands……hmmm.

Did you know that if you put regular dish soap (for the sink) in the dishwasher that you can wash the floor?
Yup, you can wash the dishes and the floor at the same time. Sunlight soap suds makes floors pretty shiny.
This not recommended if the kitchen is not on the ground floor or there are heating ducts in the floor, as the soap suds will leak into the main level and basement.
And yes, I actually did do this. And no, it was not on purpose.
now you should’ve know that dish liquid soap makes losts of bubbles… and the dishwasher has power to it…come on common sense…you should’ve played slip and silde on the floor…naked…that way you took a bath, clean your floors and clen your dishes…lol just kidding…
