Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

A few observations: 1) do follow the instructions and dig a hole 4 feet deep. That depth seems to work well. 2) Forget about using this if your property is situated on a bed of clay. You need natural drainage in order for this to work. 3) We have added an enzyme tablet or a shot of Rid X every 5 to 6 days and it seems to do the trick. 4) Every two days we add a gallon or two of water to keep the system moist 5) We tried using "biodegradeable" plastic bags made from starch, and these take longer to decompose, so we have started to use paper towels when possible to transport the waste to the system. The paper towels quickly disappear. 6) For the most part, the waste seems to disappear. On occasion it appears to pile up six or seven inches, so: 7) In order to turbocharge the system and pursuant to the suggestion of one reviewer we bought a bag of mealworms on Amazon. These guys arrived in the mail this morning and are now happily residing in the cess pit. We'll follow up with how that works to enhance the performance of the system. All in all we are more than satisfied with this arrangement.... no more stench-plagued garbage cans full of smelly green bags of poop.
