Hey everyone! I'm on the lookout for body washes or bubble baths that are gentle on sensitive skin but won't harm my garden when I use the water for irrigation. My water butt is dry, so I'll need to use our shower and bath water to help out. Any recommendations for products that are plant-friendly? Just to clarify, we really need our baths occasionally because of our jobs. Thanks!

Using proper soap is really the best choice! Even in small amounts, it can help control pesky bugs like green and black flies without harming your plants.
I’ve been saving my shower water too and it’s been great! I use a variety of shampoos and lush products, and honestly, the plants seem to thrive. Just avoid hair conditioner and any harsh cleaners in there. Oh, and my roses absolutely love water with Epsom salts, just be careful to use it on the right plants!
Honestly, as long as you stick to bubble baths or shower gels, you should be fine. Just steer clear of any chemicals like shower cleaners and you're golden!
Thanks for the reassurance! I've been managing fine, but with this dry spring we're having, it's good to know I can use what I have!
