    Isn't greenfeilds one just earth?
    It depends on you soil I think has to pass a certain water holding capacity.
    Uncle had a earth one for yrs and lined it was s messy job to do it I think

    I like the dry wall job they do in NZ. Separates the water and solids.

    Is that like a baffle wall system that's in a septic tank?

    Ya more or less. If you look on YouTube you'll see a big NZ contracter building them. Good looking system.

    weeping wall?

    I like the look of those. Railway sleepers at a certain gap can work.

    That's a dungstead they were built here in the 70's.

    We have a ramp for dung on the right hand side of the old concrete (open) tank. Was thinking of adapting the tank to include an additional ramp & internal weeping walls as it needs a bit of TLC anyway. Would need to divert the existing slurry channel a bit, persuade it to discharge into two ramps alternately.
