An important distinction: Permaculture is not the same kind of gardening as organic gardening.
Mediterranean climate hugel trenches, fabuluous clay soil high in nutrients, self-watering containers with hugel layers, keyhole composting with low hugel raised beds, thick Back to Eden Wood chips mulch (distinguished from Bark chips), using as many native plants as possible....all drought tolerant.

I've heard this as a reason to save water but I'm unsure if it really affects the septic biology. I believe bacteria multiply fairly rapidly. So if you send some into the drainfield, I think the remaining ones in the tank are likely to repopulate just fine. I might be more worried about not having enough water in the septic to keep the turds dissolved enough for everything to work well.
We put plenty of shower water down out septic, along with good soap, turds and pee and our septic has been in good shape for 5+ years.

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

Can you put a gasket under the toilet seat, and one under the lid so the smell stays in?
