I know, it seems an odd question at first, but there is some logic, honest!
We are heading towards a hosepipe ban, and I am keen to recycle water where possible.
But, I am instinctively wary about putting soaps and shampoos on small seedlings and crops which rely on pollinating insects, are visited by bats and protected species, and drain directly into natural watercourses without any decontamination along the way...
Am I worrying unnecessarily?
And/or, is there anything I could do with choice of soaps and shampoos to minimise the impact on wildlife?
