    Default Garbage Disposal

    What's the best? Durable and evil are the criteria.

    If you're on a septic rather than sewer system, be aware that some think of these as kryptonite to your septic tank.
    We had a blockage (on our 20th anniversary, no less) that I couldn't budge with a ram. When I had the septic folks arrive, they initially thought I was in a worse-case scenario situation as my tank was full to the brim. After pumping, he hot-jetted the line and was able to get everything flowing nicely, but said the culprit was the garbage disposal.

    Throw that stuff in your compost bucket. -- you do have one as a dutiful Marinite?

    You're just the task master it don't matter -- everything fails but natural processes.

    Gross sieve, huge stockpot under the sink > parts that intentionally fail.

    We've been through a few but I've found that a 60lb black lab mutt is the most effective.

    Indeed. Portable combo disposal, composter, space heater, alarm clock and security system. Plus he cleans out the recycling!

    you forgot 'air freshener'...... maybe 'fresh' is misleading.....

    I'm guessing that dog happily worked on that jug for at least 60 hours split into 15 shifts or so.

    Bloody Texan. Watch out - I'll steal your "fertilizer".


    Yo 'member I said "Marin for schools"?

    Anyway I don't care about all this... tell me why In and Out's burger veggies taste like shoe.

    Joostx, next time you are in town I want you to look in my compost and see how many species of insect you can identify in 30 seconds.

    You'll be amazed on how many that there are in there. The Caligula of insects is reigning over that feast in that box.
