    Would you use used dish water to water the garden as it's it's.it'sing mainquite thirsty at the moment garden plants are raspberry canes, a variety of fuchsias, a lavender, apple tree and a new blackberry.
    Also have some seedlings peas lettuce and cabbage I wouldn't use it on these.

    I personally wouldn't, I doubt the detergent in the water would do your plants many favours
