 I sometimes use my dish water to spray plants and when we had a fish
aquarium I'd also use that water for the inside plants.  I'll stick to
the beer in jar lids as I don't plan on using that much salt or running
the risk of having all that salt go into the soil. Even slug bait but I
plan on doing the beer and see how that works....
