    A family friend shared 2 problems she’s been dealing with since moving into her house:

    1. The ground is all clay so it’s impossible to grow anything without bringing in a crapload of dirt
    2. The septic has an issue and has to be pumped every 3 weeks

    I pointed out that clearly they need to be using the septic to fertilize the flower beds to solve both problems but for some reason she didn’t like that idea…

        The effluent filling up the leach field, then the tank, then the house, due to the surrounding clay preventing it from draining quickly enough.

        That’s a damn good question that I do not have an answer to. I don’t speak with this person at all, and this was the first time my wife had spoken to them in years so we may never know
