Toilet paper composts but it is not a good idea not to have your system
pumped occasionally. If you wait until solids spill over into field you
might have an expensive problem.

I fully agree. I have my septic pumped every 3 years. Those solids do
decompose, but they accumulate, and they have to go somwhere. There are
only 2 places they can go. Either into your drain field (which will clog
it), or they will backup into your house.

By the way, "REAL MEN" dont use toilet paper. LOL

The latest idea in drain fields is a chamber system where you have big
open chambers underground that the tank drains into with soil or
gravel on top of the soil under them. It makes the system a lot less
susceptible to being plugged by scum coming out of the tank.
