We had a supervisor today who followed us around for an hour. Apparently, he was disappointed to learn this clay wasn’t the scoopable kind!🙃

Today’s soil borings required a little maneuvering. When the rocks won’t move, sometimes the auger has to.

Thank you Bryce! We love hearing that we made learning about soil both interesting and fun. Bill really enjoys sharing his knowledge, and it's even better when he gets to share it with multiple generations. We appreciate your kind words and the opportunity to help you and your dad.

To protect your septic system from the impact of falling leaves, consider implementing the following strategies:

🍂Regular raking: Consistently rake them away from your septic tank and drain field areas.

🍂Proper mulching: Avoid your septic system components if you mulch leaves. Mulched leaves can still contribute to soil clogging if left over in the drain field.

🍂Gutter maintenance: Clean your gutters and ensure downspouts direct water away from your septic system. Consider installing gutter guards to prevent leaves from clogging your gutters in the first place.

🍂Protective covering: Use septic tank risers and secure lids to prevent leaves and debris from entering your tank.

🍂Landscaping considerations: Plant trees and shrubs strategically, avoiding areas near your septic system. This can reduce the number of leaves that fall directly onto critical areas.

🍂Professional inspection: Schedule regular septic system inspections, especially before and after the fall, to ensure the system functions correctly and address potential issues early.

🍂Mindful water usage: During periods of heavy leaf fall, be extra conscious of your water usage. Reducing the load on your septic system can help it cope with any additional stress from leaf-related issues.

🍂Educate family members: Ensure everyone in your household understands the importance of keeping leaves and debris away from the septic system area.

🍂Monitor drainfield performance: Look for signs of drain field issues, such as soggy ground, unpleasant odors or slow draining, which could indicate problems exacerbated by leaf accumulation.

Apparently, you can take the soil scientist off the job, but you can’t keep him from checking out the soil.

There’s a big project in our town and after driving past the site a few times, we decided to photograph the giant soil pit and investigate the soil horizons.

While most people see a construction site, we see yet another opportunity to learn more about the soils in northern Indiana.

There’s a reason for the orange cone! An exposed septic distribution box isn't something you want people walking over or accidentally stepping into. Until repairs or backfilling can be completed, the area should be clearly marked and protected. Septic systems may be mostly underground, but when components are exposed, a little caution goes a long way.

Fun fact: Seed corn is harvested a bit earlier than corn grown for grain. It’s also harvested right on the cob to protect the seeds that comprise next year’s crop. Until then, we’re just working our way through it. 🌽

💧 It’s SepticSmart Week! 💧

A septic system may be out of sight, but it shouldn’t be out of mind. This week is a great reminder that a little care can go a long way toward protecting your septic system, your property and our groundwater.

And if you’re buying land or planning to build, remember that septic planning starts long before the tank goes in. Understanding the soil is an important first step in determining what type of onsite system may be suitable.
