Here is an idea if you use a fruit and veggie rinse. After your veggies have soaked in the sink, put them in a strainer. Then when you are rinsing off the soap, have a large bowl under the strainer. Use that strained water on your plants!
This method can also be used when you are preparing veggies or pasta for a summer salad. When you get to the "rinse under cold water" stage, have the strainer over a large bowl and reuse that water in the garden.

We add our baby's bathwater to the (cloth) diaper pail. Then every couple of days we dump all contents into the washer for the first soaker cycle. Then use Hydrogen peroxide solution on these. We live in a condo, so this is the best way that we can re-use water. I like your tip about watering the garden and will start using some bath water in our container garden. Cheers.

You can use your graywater in your home for the following:
(1) watering plants
(2) use in the toilet tank so less fresh water is used for flushing the toilet)
(3) use to rinse out recycleable bottles or cans (you are just going to put them in the garage until you take them to the recycling depot anyways so why use fresh water)
