RE: Dirty water good?
Rich,
I wouldn't recommend using that water due to the variety of chemicals it
will contain.
They most likely will kill all the beneficial microbes in your soil in
addition to the salts.

Thanks, David, I forgot about the salt. Because of the very hard water
down
here, we have a Culligan water softener (essentially a rock salt
filter). Is
there any chance all this water can be salvaged for use on the garden?
Anyone?

greenfly on the other side of the ditch well it hates washingup liquid
