Could I use the water from the tank in my condensor dryer to water vegetables?

I usually just pour it down the sink, but while emptying it yesterday I thought its an awful lot of water to just pour away. So could I use it to water vegetables? It is just condensation isnt it?

Hmm..now that's got me pondering

Yes- it is just watervapour.
BUT it smells a bit of soap/conditioner doesn't it?

Hmm...


on reflection - yes I would (on flowers- cos I'm cautious like that!)!!!

Don't see why not. I don't have a drier, not that I've needed to use one - it's been so hot and dry here that everything goes on the rotary line and is dry very quickly.

I wouldnt usually use mine in summer, but my washing line seems to have disappeared. I having been bugging OH to put it back up but he doesn't seem to be listening. Anything I cant fit on my airers has to be chucked in the dryer I am afraid

As my dryer is in the shed, I usually empty the condenser tank onto the apple tree - hasn't harmed it in 5 years or so.

Thanks, I think I will start using it then

We use ours round the garden although don't use it much at this time of year and in winter don't need the water so much.

I use the water from one of the portable air conditioners on pot plants and they haven't died yet
