Some health jurisdictions are moot on this important issue. Pulverized vegetables are the same density as water and tend to pass through the baffles and other traps inside the system designed to separate the solids and greases from the liquids. For this reason most experts discourage their use unless additional drainfield area is dedicated. The required dedication for garbage disposals can be as much as 50% more of the required drainfield area. Commercial garbage grinders are very hard on a septic system (higher waste strength.) Composting is the best solution for wet organic kitchen waste if available.
