Gary, I think people are afraid to answer the septic spray
question. I'm having a difficult time being serious.

My opinion is you still should lay down as many radials as
you reasonably can. I don't think the soil will be so good
you won't need radials.

Sorry, I have to say this.....just try to do it well after
everyone has fallen asleep and the system has purged for the
night. Or wear a raincoat.
