Planning ahead for Summer - Grey Water
💧 Don't pour it away! Your garden could use that bath water 💧
With summer droughts becoming more common, it's time we talked about grey water – that's the water from your shower, bath, or washing machine rinse cycle.
Here's what you need to know:
✅ DO use it on: Lawns, borders, shrubs, and ornamental plants
❌ DON'T use it on: Vegetables, salad crops, or anything you'll eat
Top tips:
🕐 Use within 24 hours to keep it fresh
🚿 Apply with a watering can (not sprinklers – they clog!)
⏱️ After 6 weeks, give plants a rinse with clean water
🧂 Avoid dishwasher water – too salty for your soil
Your soil is brilliant at filtering out soap and detergents, and the residues can even act as a mild fertiliser. Just keep it short-term and your ornamental plants will thank you!

Tired of moss, patchy grass, and endless scarifying?
Your lawn problems might not be what you think. High-nitrogen fertilizers could be slowly destroying your soil health—and creating the perfect breeding ground for ant infestations.
Modern lawn care takes a completely different approach. Instead of fighting nature, work WITH it using bio-limes, beneficial bacteria, and natural soil biology.
