I agree to update the septic system as best you can- replace the Orangeburg, and put the grey water in with the black water. Houses now are plumbed to add the grey water wherever it is convenient, not all bunched up at the end, because having grey water running through the system will help keep the black water "chunks" moving along, if you get my drift. But DON'T get the county involved- there's a difference between "up to code" and "good enough to sell"- and you're going for the latter. Most jurisdictions don't make you get it up to code to sell- just require the septic be pumped, and for the pumper to look it over and check the box "system appears to be working properly". Having ASB pipe running into and out of the tank will help in that regard.
Dealing with solids in grey water is easy- just don't put any in! No garbage disposal (anyone who puts a garbage disposal in a house with septic system should be "took out and horse-whipped"), and just don't let any solids go down the drain- put them in the compost instead. Pour grease into the garbage, not down the drain. Wife and I are sticklers for this- and in nearly 50 years, not only have we never had a septic problem, we have never even had a clogged J-trap! BTW, run really hot water down the sink drain every once in awhile to keep the trap cleared out.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
