Re: Garbage disposal question
"That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
yep! I try to put all organic stuffs down there to cut down on our garbage and smell.
my favorite thing to grind is lemon wedges/peels. smells so good.

hmm, I've done rose stems. seems my garbage disposal can kick Bethie's garbage disposal's ass. : )
I actually installed it myself. Ours broke a year or so after we moved in (it was 6-8 years old, so debatable if I killed it or not by stuffing such things as banana peels and rose stems down it) and we picked up a pretty decently powerful one.
Kay, the bacon fat may have something to do with our septic system rather than the disposal. Other than that and chicken/steak bones we put all our food leftovers in the disposal.
Once a month we use that disposal foam cleaner.

I thought that's what it was for. This is my first disposal but anyone I know who has one uses it for food that would normally get thrown out.
I wouldn't do a banana peel, too fibrous. You also shouldn't do potato peels. Think of things that can have "threads" and wrap around/gum up the works.
Lemons, oranges, eggshells, and ice cubes down there keep things in good working order, though.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
Makes Thanksgiving that much more exciting, doesn't in.
If you don't/didn't put food down there, what did you use it for?
I never had a disposal growing up, so I'm probably just not well versed in how to use them.

I never put anything in my garbage disposal. My dad would kill me if I did. He is a plumber and always told me not to put anything down there. A few spoons have made it in there without my knowledge though. They made it out just a little scratched.
The bacon grease, or any grease/oil, is because it will clog your drain once it solidifies.
I don't really put anything in it. I dump food in the trash (going to compost one of these days), but then I use the disposal to chop up the remnants that get rinsed off. It just keeps me from having to scrape. My dad's good friend is a plumber and he was fixing disposals all the time because people put anything and everything down there.
Pon related: my BIL and SIL, their first house had plumbing issues when they moved in, so they had someone come clear the blockage and it was full of used tampons. FYI!
