    Dumping Nutrient RunOff into your septic?

    Trying to decide what to do with my nutrient run off from my drain to waste coco system. The house i moved to has a septic system (aerator septic) built in the 90s.

    Is Run ph off that important?

    I went to check the run off for the hell of it and The ph level was at 7.8 should I water with acidic water next time or ignore it? will this really cause a nutrient lock out if the run off isn’t the correct ph?

    Removing Organic Runoff?

    I was wondering something for a long time. I know when using chemical fertilizers there are lots of salts involved. I know most of that salt builds up in the catch trays but I was wondering when growing organically do I still need to remove that runoff water from the bottom?
