[Digestion] waste water ->was-> Re Digestate as fertilizer

[Anand Karve]

Dear Bennet,
I hope that you are not being sarcastic. The soap and detergent in the bath
and wash water are biodegradable. In many developing countries, the houses
are not connected to a common drainage system for carrying away the waste
water. In such cases, people generally use the grey water for irrigating
their kitchen garden, or just let such water flow into a patch of land in
which plants like banana, arums, etc. are grown, which can stand a bit of
water logging.
Yours
