We had problems a few years ago with our neighbours tank leaking into one of our paddocks. They were told to get it fixed right away. I had to keep the ponies off it for weeks until it tested safe.

Hello,


Still, whether for food or for greenery - we all have that choice, right - there is no need to send nutrients off to a treatment plant or to pump them in a clandestine way over the fence when they can be retained close to home. And all the more reason to be conscious of what goes down the drains, though a good functioning septic tank is robust enough for almost anything typically used at home.


Greetings,


Don Wagstaff

Back to original message this effluent has not degraded in the tank it is raw.  The area is open and available to kids adults to play or walk through  plus this is free ranged   I know that degraded effluent can be spread on ground to improve fertility  there is also the issue with flies and vermin that seems to thrive in that area and then enter our house and do what flies do.  Could anybody say that they would not be very suspicious when they were eating the eggs he sells or the fly that settled on your toast next to your egg.     :thinking:
