We have a tank that all the washing water gets pumped into, can't use the blackwater (sink) as it's too greasy, anyway the tank is underground and DH has hooked up a pump to it and a spinkler system we water the whole garden with it and it does stink but only while it's watering and we do it all at night so not to spray anyone.
We are allowed to use it straight on the garden and we use a special detergent that is garden safe.
My roses and all plants are looking fantastic, we actually have green grass out the front all Summer as we must use this water with 24 hours and I do A LOT of washing I had a child in nappies (cloth) and my business goes through a lot of towels plus washing for 5 family members.
The water board actually came and checked the system as we had a complaint, they thought we were spinkling with mains water which we are not allowesd to do.
