    It is a bit strange isn't it.

    • What is the best way to be a greener dish cleaner? *
      • Use paper plates
      • Recycle your used water to water the plants
      • Lick your plates clean


    I'd go with:

    Recycle your used water to water the plants.

    Real world events & practical day to day :-)

    Hope its ok as that's my entry.

    Me too definately.

    The paper plates one is out as it creates waste and energy use in production
    and licking the plates clean is not really an option for us on a daily basis

    thats my frazzled minds take on it anyway :D

    I think maybe re-using your water - but then would soapy water not ruin your plants!??
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
  • I think re-using water too, I've searched and can't find a definitive answer but lots of people do it, it's called "grey water" like bath water.

    not at all if you use an Eco product as the contents are all natural and plant based anyway ( allegedly)

    However tipping fairy over the plants would wreck them. That said wiping soapy washing up liquid over some plants prevents black fly.

    Ho hum
