potentially harmful.  More often than not it's the sodium content that
determines how much laundry wastewater can be safely applied to a given area.


I was talking to someone who is a local compost expert and they reckon
that puting grey water on the compost heap gets rid of the salts.

The only proviso to this is that this person has very large hot
compost heaps and actively goes out to find material to compost (for
example clears up all the leaves in the railway carpark)
