what to do with masonary wash water?

After rinsing out wheelbarrows, buckets, tools, etc. from lime, cement, concrete, etc., what should be done with the alkaline water?

I'm wondering about the feasibility of using a solar still to dry it up and reclaim the water.

Any ideas?

Try to use it to help an acidic area, or acidic soil hating plants....hmmmm....

put into cracks in concrete floors where bugs hide

I don't have any acid soils; Colorado is quite alkaline.

How much would be able to go down the cracks? Is the idea to kill the bugs or fill the crack over time?

i read (maybe in a few different contexts) that lime will scare away bugs.

not sure how much would be needed... but it s worth a try. some lime-stuff might be wased in the cracks and fill them at least a bit.

i let that water sit in buckets. the hard stuff will settle on the ground. this could be used on path-ways or to put under pavers, concrete etc.


blesses

Gilbert: I'm not going to presume to tell you what to do. In my world view, life is too precious, and too short to be worrying about a little bit of lime in a little bit of water. I just dump it out somewhere and get on with living.
