    i had an idea to try and save some of my bath water for outside uses.

    the issue is i add salt to my baths to help with my skin.

    does this mean the water is unsuitable for the garden?

    i was thinking of one of those siphons that puts the water out of the window to a hosepipe.

    thanks

    Brassicas may tolerate a bit of salt but it'll kill most other plants stone dead.

    I'd have thought that unless the bath water is like the dead sea, the salt concentrations in it will be so low as to do no harm? There are lots of plants that happily accept moderate doses of salt from sea fret that blows over from time to time.
