We had a rental house where the laundry water went out into a gutter and the plants around it thrived. With our new house, I plumbed the waste laundry water into a concrete and stone pit on the sunny side of the house. Today we put in a few bird of paradise plants, some ferns, and a broad leaf plant. It seems a good use of water and the soap should decompose faster exposed to the sun. Stand by for reports on either thriving plants or dying plants. Anyone else put their shower, kitchen, or laundry water to use?
