Washing up water is fine....just let it cool down first!
I have a square’ish bucket that sits by my feet when I shower, and I get about 3/4s of a bucket every morning.
All this talk of showers is making me very jealous ... just kidding, thank you for your suggestion. I have a square bucket so I'll do the same thing when water supply allows.
But now I haven't got enough water for a shower - its a jug and bowl if I'm lucky.
What do you mean? Is your property not connected to mains water supply?
No it isn't, my water supply is underground from the hills behind me, collected in a large tank then filtered for the house.It's been very dry since February and very hot which equals drought!
We have one of those plastic muck buckets sitting outside the back door and we tip the used washing up water in there. When it’s getting full we dip a watering can in and do the garden.
My tomatoes are in pots in the greenhouse and, like Kili, I don’t use washing up water on them.
You see, midnightblue, some people don't know what it's like living in the back of beyond? There's a 17 acre field rising up behind our borehole and we always look with trepidation when the slurry spreader arrives, especially if it's wet weather. Power cut = no water = no flushing toilets = off to the water butts with buckets, but still alive after 13 years.
