I'll stick to my septic system and drainfield. Monthly treatment with yeast culture keeps it composting just fine and the drainfield feeds the wormbeds nicely.

Just bought a house with septic and drain field. what recipe would yo use for your monthly yeast culture? Would you use bread yeast or wine yeast? Down the toilet, sink or straight into tank?
Thanks :worship:
A septic system is much like a human's digestive system.
Your _best_ bet is to keep it healthy & fed properly, and you will have _no_ need for any type of additives.
For exanmple, a lot of people live on Tums & Pepto & the like - fine, that works.
but isn't is better to not have to use all that stuff, and just be healthy to begin with?
Keep your use of bleach to a minumum. And don't use anti-bactierials. and basically don't dump anything odd or harsh down the sink.
Pump it every so many years (based on the size of your tank vs the amount of stuff (#of people using it) that gets dumped into it) to take out the stuff that does not digest. _Every_ septic needs to be cleaned out every so often, as there is grease & solids that will fill it & not decompose.
As long as the eank is airtight & gets a supply of poo and you don't upset it with very many harsh chemicals, it will have everything it needs & you can save your money on the 'additives'. they do not help any with a healthy septic; and if you have an unhealthy one you are only applying a bandaid.
As to the main topic, outhouses are illegal in nearly all locations these days. Depends how much the locals want to enforce the laws in _your_ area.
