I want to reuse the water from my bath to water outside plants this summer I am astonished to discover that i use upto 200 litres of water in one bath every day here in England I am on a water meter and it is expensive. Will using this water with residual shampoo and soap in it damage or kill the plants?
Will outdoor plants in the garden and in patio pots tolerate watering with bath water?
Bathwater is fine to use on mature plants, but don't use it on seedlings.
Reply:Bath water?
Our grandparents used to have very few garden pests. We used to joke about throwing the baby out with the bath water. Well, we should keep the baby but the soaps were a natural deterrent to pests when the bath water was thrown outside so go ahead and water your plants/garden/lawn with the bath water.
Right now, I mix dish soap with water to use when I cannot afford insecticidal soap to spray my plants.
Reply:yes, plants do just fine on bath water and even used dishwater.
Reply:Must be fresh, you cant shampoo and set a plant! Catch the rainwater in an empty dutbin
