No artifacts found in dig

No artifacts were found in dig yesterday other than remains of some brown trout.
I am posting this because of a warning to all. It started with septic problems and after having it pumped, found the cement lid was cracked. Investigating the crack, removing dirt on top I come to find the whole lid was shot. It caved in as I scraped the dirt away. Only thing held most up was the huge flower root system that was on top. (small flower garden on top to mark where it was) Now the wife and I had just walked on it to uncover the clean out hole and that looked fine at that section. I had also just walked there to trim hedges a few days prior. Accident waiting to happen so GOB, especially take heed. Find your septic if have one and NEVER EVER walk anywhere on top. My concrete was so bad it was only 1 1/2" thick..the whole lid. 50yrs old and not a stick of rebar. Why nobody ever fell in is the guy upstairs watchin over us. Had to have new tank installed. Now have new brown trout hatchery.
What lots of people don't understand as I found out is nobody likes to salt cement sidewalks, steps..why? it destroys cement.. but some with water softeners just flush that salt water into the cement septic tank...and with all the antibacterial wash soaps, laundry soaps, bleach etc the tank is dead in the water so to say.
RIDEX as we hear to add is just a gimmic and that comes from about 5 septic companies. It goes in as powder, stays mostly powder and forms crust on top that plugs system..and as said all antibacterial soaps stops all action. Look for the liquid agent to add.
I just shiver thinking how close it was for someone to fall in the old tank....Mark yours and don't even mow over it....plant flowers or something. Be safe all.
