X-No-Archive:
I was hoping to get some advice regarding the use of grey water from
the laundry for garden watering – mainly lawns.
I’m not at all asking about the legality of it, which is not at all an
issue. Rather I am trying to find out whether or not the grey laundry
water is likely to stuff up my lawns. I use different sorts of washing
powders, switching between different brands, but I typically add:
NapiSan OxyAction MAX

Is this sort of grey water ok for lawn watering?
What if this grey water was used for deep soil irrigation near plants
and shrubs? (This is much less of an issue at this stage).
I really would appreciate some advice. Thanks.

I agree with this very much. Lawns are an long outdated waste of
resources and land, reminiscent of masters and subservients and
attitudes from a time long gone and best forgotten. Let alone a major
source of poisoning and pollution.......

hm? the original manicured wide sweeping lawns at country
manor houses were sheep pastures... the whole gardners mowing
lawns thing came much later.
Britan, at the time, had enough moisure to support broad
pastures & the sheep groomed & fertilized. it was a gain, not
a loss as it is now.
