Default septic tank & coffee grounds

YA BUT, people with septic tanks SHOULD NOT use the garbage disposal.


I totally agree. Once I asked a septic guy about that, and he said, "It's
partially digested food, isn't it? It's the same as crap."

Maybe so, and I DO have a garbage disposal on a septic tank, but I still
don't send a lot down it. Hardly anything. We now have a compost pile, so
that makes it a little easier. Trash guy comes once a week here in the
country, and stuff can get real skanky in a week. The compost pile is going
to help.
