House Waste Water

Categories: Soils, Fertilizers and Irrigation

Is it feasible to use wash water, etc., for watering fruit trees and

vegetables?



Kitchen sink water is not desirable because of its great content of

grease, but wash-tub and bathtub water are good. Strong soapsuds should

be mixed with considerable rinsing water to escape excessive content of

alkali. Run the water in hoe-ditches, along the rows of vegetables,

hoeing thoroughly as soon as the land hoes well, changing the runs of

water so that the soil does not become compacted but is kept friable and

lively.
