yep, boondocking has an bottomless tank for grey water. We do our best to use biodegradable soaps. If we're out for an extended stay I dig a small hole under the drain, then crack the grey water valve and let it dribble out. contains the water and if something does make it through you can pull it out of the hole before filling it in. Dirt/gravel make great filters.
I'll slowly trickle my gray water out if I'm getting full. I have an extra bayonet valve on the end that catches any food goobers just in case.
I pulled up to camp once out in Spangler and someone had just left and completely opened up their gray valve and dumped right in camp before they left. The camp spot was completely destroyed because of all the food particles in their gray water. The camp stank and it was covered with flies. Really bad. I'm always super careful to not do that.
