Lye in laundry instead of borax

Dolan Springs, AZ(Zone 9a)

Hi all
I'm trying to get away from all detergents because I'm putting as much of my gray water as possible in the garden. I know boron in large quantities is bad for gardens, so I was wondering if anybody knows if a lye based soap would be good for clothes, and if it would also be ok in the garden?

Thanks
Julia
