We live in a reasonably hard water area, however we do have a water
softener, so the water that is used in the bathroom is very soft.

Hum, I wonder if this might cause a problem with gradual
contamination of the soil with the resulting sodium ions
(assuming your softener is an ion exchange type)?

Yes it is (I think! - I put salt in it!)

that salt ends up in your grey water, and sodium chloride has the same
effect as sodium chlorate. Vey dilute so it takes years to have an
efect, but yes it does.

Thats one of the probs with grey water, you have to be fussy about what
you let get in the water.

There are many plants that will still grow ok, but not all. If you
wanted a mint pond or reed bed I believe you could use it for those.
And many other things.
