Can soapy water be used to water my garden?

I am trying to conserve water. If I use my dish water or even laundry water, will it be harmful to plants in my flower or vegetable garden?

    all of the old farmers used dish and clothes wash water to water gardens, some people even plumb their gray water for this. It's good recycling (don't use bleach)

    every chemistry you put in to ground where are the flowers will demage them, just a little bit of logic

    will you feel sick if you drink soapy water? YES you will, so will the flowers, and it may even kill them...
