Grey water is just fine for your garden. Grey water is not sewage. It is the water you use to wash your dishes, your clothes and your body. Use green/earth friendly soaps and you'll be fine. Grey water and well water are what are used for my irrigation. We have no smelly anything where our grey water is concerned. **shrugs** The only thing going to our septic are our toilets.
Yes, I have grey water set up on a separate system than my septic and my well. Incoming house water for me is from my well (kitchen) or the city (rest of the house). I have my toilets plumbed to the septic and the rest goes to grey water containment that is then used to irrigate - my irrigation cycles between my well and my grey water depending on how low my greywater gets - I do not use city water for my irrigation. Keeps me from having to pay attention to the water restrictions.
For more information on gray water in your garden, this isn't a half bad read. This one is pretty decent, too.
And, we were in the mid 80s, yesterday **grins** You can keep the snow up there!!
