Hello everyone!
I got my tank set (1750 gallon) and dug out my drainfield and noticed sections of the field have quite a bit of clay. Short of completely relocating the field what can I do? (the test holes were sandy).
My plan is to:
hole dug to 24"
backfill with 2-3 inches of sand (to get everything level)
then 6" of stone
drain pipe
topped by 2-3 inches of stone (covered by fabric)
then 12" of topsoil
I would like to use the infiltrator piping (the pipe wrapped in popcorn) but it's $7 per foot here
