What dish washing liquid soap safe for plant?

I think it is, I have heard to put dish washing liquid on plants to keep some of the bugs away. However the grease and things from the dishes might not be good on the plants, and the grease may attract bugs. it depends on what soap you use. look for eco soaps which are biodegradble, they may not be the best cleaning soaps but they wont harm your garden. beware from laundry soap water for it contains boron which is harmful for plants. one can use soapy water to kill bugs 'cos if coated by it it chokes them, it does not repel bugs in any way nor is the grease likely to attract any. zaf. I did my own little study and I can say so far it does an exelent job all though the roots worry me they are blackish-green. I hope it's ok!


Are there biodegradable and natural baby wipes?

Yes! There are biodegradable and natural baby wipes out there. Wipes came on the scene in the 1970's, but it wasn't until recently that anyone began to manufacture them with biodegradable material, such as tree pulp. It is still not the norm for any wet wipe to be made from biodegradable material or to have 100% natural ingredients (roughly 80% are made from synthetic fibers that are petroleum-based and almost all use synthetic chemicals and preservatives). However, as the green the movement gains momentum, we are seeing more and more biodegradable and natural alternatives appearing, mostly developed by smaller American companies. Bum Boosa Bamboo Baby Wipes made their baby wipes from bamboo cellulose with a natural solution with essential oils (bamboo is a good alternative to tree pulp because of how fast-growing it is compared to trees). There is also another wipe on the market that uses Inego fibers called Elements Naturals. Seventh Generation says they will be coming out with biodegradable wipes eventually (their wipes are currently synthetic- but it will change). There are some other companies, mostly non-US/European that make biodegradable and natural baby wipes and biodegradable and natural wet wipes. The British have had many choices in biodegradble/natural wipes for several years.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of soaps and detergents?

Soaps are natural products made from fats and oils, which makes them biodegradable and environmentally friendly. They are effective at removing dirt and oils from surfaces. However, they can react with hard water to form scum, reducing their cleaning effectiveness. Detergents, on the other hand, are synthetic compounds that are more effective in hard water and are less likely to leave residue. However, they are not as environmentally friendly as soaps and may contain harmful chemicals.
