As a kid I remember my grandparents diverted their gray water to their apple trees but it was just free-flowing and any time someone ran water in the sink or grandma did a load of laundry the trees would get a drink. I think diverting our gray water to irrigate the garden would be a great way to reuse a lot of our water. The problem is that I don't want to water the garden every time I do dishes or a load of laundry. I like to water at night and early morning when there is less evaporation. I thought about storing it in a holding tank but I'm afraid the tank will end up with all kinds of lovely things growing in it within a short time. I don't like the idea of using chemicals to clean out the tank either. Does anyone do this? If so what is your system?
