I figured I might as well do it right....<<<We are required to use 6" of straw as a barrier between the backfill and the weep lines in septic leach beds. It takes many, many years--sometimes a life time to decompose. In fact parts of old New Orleans are built on straw bales thrown in the swamp which get puished down and later built upon. I have excavated yards that had buried straw that was ten eyars old and looked fresh. It just doesn't want to rot.Didnt decide if I am going skidsteer or miniexcavator. We are low on rain here so the ground is getting dryer by the day. We will play it by ear...>>>Won't that shale be hard to trench? We don't have shale here. -When you say rocks shouldnt be next to the pipe you are talking big rocks right? Like fist size?>>>>Think more like small egg size. I have a bunch of shale soil, so its all basically small rocks.-Do you check the trench with a transit for elevation, then drop the pipe in and recheck? Or how do you go about it?>>>>If I tell ya any more, I'll have to charge ya for consulting--or come do the work myself! LOL  I have used a transit many times for shimming equipment on a large concrete pad, but I have never used it to do drainage work. How often in the trench do you check elevations? I suppose if you didnt check close enough you could have a bunch of highs and lows that wouldnt flow.</blockquote>
