I live in Austin, Texas where the soil is either deep or 5" deep with

thinly made tanks. They are very strong.

Yes, you are absolutely right Victoria, they are *very* strong. It's also
not legal to install a 'damaged or repaired' fiberglass septic tank for it's
originally intended purpose even if they are technically as good as new so
there goes ol brooklyn1's flat tire theory. I only told about the salvaged
septic tanks to suggest that people need to look around and see what's
available to do the job. I found a very workable and relatively inexpensive
solution to my water problem by doing a little thinking outside the box.
When I saw "water barrels" selling for $75 a pop I figured there HAD to be a
better way. Gardening, if done properly, is conducive to percolating and
pondering solutions to problems.
