That type of waste water is called grey water
Although gray water does not need extensive chemical or biological treatment before it can be used in the garden as irrigation water, it still must be used carefully because it can contain grease, hair, detergent, cosmetics, dead skin, food particles and small amounts of fecal matter.
First u will have to decide how much gray water to use on your garden is that a square foot of well-drained, loamy soil can handle about a half gallon of gray water per week.
If your garden area is 500 square feet, then you can put up to 250 gallons of gray water on your garden each week.
Grey water can be transported to the garden in a number of ways, the most basic being to bucket the water from the sinks and bathtub into pails and hand carry it to the garden. More sophisticated systems involve siphoning or pumping water from the bathtub or other deep basins (sumps) to the yard through a garden hose, or removing the trap from the bathroom sink drain pipe and putting a five-gallon, or larger, bucket beneath the sink.
Water from the kitchen sink and dishwasher is much less desirable because of the larger proportion of grease, food particles and other materials it will contain.
If there is no way you can avoid using water from the kitchen sink and dishwasher, try to limit the amount of grease and solid food particles that go down the drain.
Do not recycle water from a washing machine that has been used to wash baby diapers because it may contain fecal matter.
Soaps and detergents are biodegradable, but they can present problems when gray water is used over an extended period.
The main problem with most cleaning agents is that they contain sodium salts which, if present in excessive amounts, can damage the soil structure, can create an alkaline condition, and can also damage plants.
Avoid detergents that advertise "softening power," because they will have a large proportion of sodium-based compounds. The phosphates in detergents can be good for plant growth, but unfortunately, the detergents highest in phosphates usually contain the greatest amount of sodium. If you re-use washing machine water, cut down or eliminate the amount of bleach you use and do not use detergents or additives that contain boron, which is especially toxic to plants.
When doing your household cleaning, use ammonia, or products that contain ammonia, instead of chlorine as the cleaning agent.
Great danger in using gray water is the build-up of sodium in the soil.
You can discover if the sodium levels are high by having the pH of your soil tested.
A pH of 7.5 or above indicates that your soil has become loaded with sodium.
You can correct or avoid this problem by spreading gypsum (calcium sulfate) over the soil at a rate of two pounds per 100 square feet about once a month.
Rainfall, or rotating gray water applications with fresh water, will help leach the soil of sodium and excess salts.
