Do any GNs who don't possess a dishwasher, empty a bowl of not greasy foodstuff onto their potted plants? Know of a friend in sunny Altlanta,GA who used to shower with feet in a bowl or bucket (can't remember which) and then use this water on her plants..just wondering if my washing up water is ok for them?

I have a bucket in the sower to catch the water before it warms up , it stays there as I shower to catch a bit more , I have used it on the plants in the greenhouse every summer
My Gran used to throw the dishwater round the fruit bushes , no rats , but great berries
