Prev Ans: Think about all of the unnatural chemicals in dish soap!!!

RE: I divert my laundry water onto my fig tree and it grows like crazy. My parents also did the same thing for our peppermint and spearmint plants and they did great. I've also read that dish soap can be used in place of garden soap to prevent pests from eating the plants (spraying a film on the leaves). As long as you keep watering your plants and don't saturate the soil in soap, I can't see a problem with using old dishwater in the garden (as long as you don't introduce animal fats or mold producing ingredients).
