Except for our present house which is on a septic system, we have had a
garbage disposer in whatever house we've lived in for the past 40 odd
years. I really do miss not having one. In-Sink-Erator makes a model that
is supposed to be compatible with septic systems. It injects enzymes into
the chamber while it's grinding, which is supposed to break down food, but
I'm still skeptical. I may investigate further.
