Mom always had 3 enamel mugs in the fridge at any given time. As I grew up on a sheep farm with  some cows as well, we always had a mutton roast on Sundays. She would add a couple of generous scoops from the "current" mug to the pan before adding the leg/shoulder/whatever. At the end she'd carefully decant the "drippings" back into one of the mugs. Of course she always got more this way than she used so we always had lots.

We'd use that for any type of frying that we did, though I never remember her using any in other cooking .

@Yen Yus, where are you located? I'm originally from New Zealand and used to design houses there. I specced  worm septics a few times and they were the bomb! Over here (in the USA) no one has a clue about them, so I figure getting one through your county/city for planning permission would be a nightmare!!

@Anne, having specified them in the past,  and having spent 15 years as a designer i'm well acquainted with how painful cities can be too deal with.  But that was not my issue.  I just wanted to know if they were available here.  They are better than any traditional system hands down.

I'm brand new here, and apologize if this is the wrong forum - it looked the closest.

We're about set to buy a property in TX that is currently on a conventional septic system. While it has the potential to connect to the town system, we're very much of the option that we want to keep "government noses" out of our business wherever possible. I was an architectural designer back in New Zealand and specced a worm farm septic system on a couple of rural projects (not necessarily this firm, but here's a link to an Aussie firm who supply them - https://www.wormfarm.com.au/). I'd really like to use this system to either replace or retrofit what is there. They produce amazing compost with next to no intervention.

But.... I'm having a horrible time trying to find anyone in the US who even talks about them, let alone supplies them. Has anyone come across these or knows where I could get one or info? Thanks.
