Yay Greentime. I actually do this - the bucket flush & watering plants with "waiting for hot" water. And we do a little greywater recycling by diverting the drain from our clothes washing machine to a contained garden area where we have an ornamental tree. We only use biodegradable detergent products, and we let the fallen tree leaves form a thick mulch surface, so the water is a direct pour and stays under the leaves. The tree's water needs seem to be about the same as our clothes washing use. Oh cool! Yay Greentime. I actually do this - the bucket flush & watering plants with “waiting for hot” water.
