Rid x twice monthly at minimum.For ruralites or other home septic tank fans....when was it last pumped? Asking for a friend.....
excellent advise and accurate analogytreat them like you live in the city, and all life will shortly die in them, plug with solids and be no different than a portable worksite toilet needing regular pumping..
....I recognize that and recall they do haveI have been thinking about checking it but everytime I think that I decide to do something else.
Rid X or similar worked wonders for my folk's septic tank. I recall it was actually pumped once in 30 years. And that in a clay-loam soil. The weeds grew tall and strong over that area...I have owned my cabin property since 2008. I haven't had to service mine yet but it gets fairly light use one toilet and shower.

Same, since '13.…. drag the gravel, limb up the trees, stain the deck / siding, change the oil in all the toys, have a drink with the full timer….I have owned my cabin property since 2008. I haven't had to service mine yet but it gets fairly light use one toilet and shower.

Sounds like a poor man's beer brewery….I mix up a couple tablespoons of yeast with some sugar and water and let it grow a few hours, then flush it to the tank. Its a good way to offset any cleaning products used.
Come to think of it, brewer's yeast was something else the folks flushed into the septic and leach-field. That leach-field could get nasty when the weather was hot and humid.. trees and stuff grew thick there too.Sounds like a poor man's beer brewery….
so much for the sourdough mixyeast with some sugar and water and let it grow a few hours,
I lifted the concrete lid and something is brewing down there for sure.Sounds like a poor man's beer brewery….
There's entire cities where that's SOP this very day.When SHTF TPTB won't have the resources to pursue people taking a dump outside.
Much wisdom here ^^.Depending on proper construction, well percolated drain field, and how it was treated before you got it, changes the answer considerably. Septics are a way of life, take them serious, treat them right, feed them well, and a very long time can be had before requiring service. But treat them like you live in the city, and all life will shortly die in them, plug with solids and be no different than a portable worksite toilet needing regular pumping..
