What crops can be watered with soapy water?

1

Summer residents who have not yet have resolved issues with water supply and sewage, often think about whether it is possible to pour soapy water under cultivated plants after washing dishes. There is an opinion that if you water the bushes with slop, the berries will grow with a soapy taste, and the yield will also decrease.

Gardeners' advice

Actually, the solution to this question depends on what exactly the dishes are washed with. If it is household soap, there are no questions.

And if we are talking about detergents containing various kinds of active chemicals, then it is better to think 10 times than to pour a washcloth under a fruit tree or on a vegetable bed.

What can be watered

1. If it is about water with household soap, then, without the slightest doubt, you can pour slop under the currants, but only until the berries ripen. Soapy water does not bring any specific benefit to the bushes, but gardeners assure that the currants look more cheerful against the general background. As for the soil composition, household soap changes it to slightly alkaline, which currants and raspberries like so much.
2. You can water cucumbers and zucchini with this water, but not directly under the root, but furrows made from a distance. Both cultures like moist soil with normal acidity.
3. You can also water lilac flowers and bushes with soapy water.
