Recycling of "Gray Water"

Where You Can Use Gray Water

Soaps and detergents are the components in gray water which could adversely affect plants the most. Therefore the water most preferred for irrigation is from the shower or lavatory sink since this wastewater generally contains only a small amount of soap, and has very few solid residues.

Always take caution when using gray water! Remember that it's best to use it on ornamental plants and lawns rather on food plants, especially those that are eaten raw such as carrots or lettuce.
