A couple months after I moved in I had a bad feeling about our septic tank. I called people out to check it. They pulled the cap and part of the freaking mortar retaining wall that was the septic tank moved in a way that brick and mortar should not. Fears confirmed.

$7,000 later I had a new septic tank and I had them dig a new leach field into the front yard so it wouldn’t cause problems with the plants and livestock.

I’m all about survival the fittest but at the same time I didn’t want human pathogens in my veggies in my yard bird eggs. Just say no to e coli.
