    I was thinking the same thing. I think down here they had concrete cisterns. I have read of them any way.

    Nice set up, 1stimestar....when the bottom is full, just excavate? I've seen those composting pits up in Vermont, they pay a caretaker on the AT to manage them.

    There's much to be grateful for when you have indoor plumbing and a warm place to sit.

    Very true, Ken.

    Is it not used that much, 1stimerstar, or new.....or the hole that deep?

    LOL, yup, depends on how many are using it, and how much they eat! Thanks for the answer, 1stimestar.
