10days ago I sack planted 40 sacks of yam seedling on top a sewage pit....the job was very tedious and actually I fell under the weather.

Only for this my rose the nosy neighbor to corner me and asked me to take them of that the weight of the sands are going to sink the sewage pit.

I rejected her verdict.because it was recently plastered by me for this sole purpose.

She sad because she did same and hers collapsed .i told her that mine is entirely different.thanked her then walked away.

Interesting to chip in that...this same nosy neighbor has this penchant for finishing all my veggies for free.

I really want to know if the sewage is really going to collapse due to the fact that it's raining season.

It won't collapse but it's not advisable. If it eventually collapses, you will be the one to fix it anyway, so stick to your decision.

It was freshly cemented and given the fact that it's a 6 months duration crop.


Thanks for dropping by sir.

Let's talk about how healthy for consumption whatever it is you want to grow on sewage pit.

Sewage is the liquid waste produced by households, businesses, and institutions, consisting of over 99% water mixed with human excreta, food waste, soaps, and detergents.

Are there no other places you can move the sack to? You may have to consider that

I have other places ...but I intend growing other crops. there.i m asking if my neighbors assertions are true?almost neighbors here grow theirs this same only few grow theirs in sacks and places them on land because of space constrain

Sir Your advice is neither here nor there...


Which one is it won't collapse then it's not advisable and went further if it eventually collapses >: sounds like something someone would say when they are famzing and or telling someone what they want to hear. What of when it eventually collapses and hurts someone around it at the time?


Caaz those things aren't really designed for such weight most times and your neighbor is right it can actually cause the soak away to collapse. If you have other space you can move your precious crops.


It's not even advisable sometimes to walk on those sewage pits people walk around them and not on them most times!

Thank you brainny....I would reduce it then and move some of them to other available spaces ..

The collapse will be legendary. Remove those things from there, or learn the hard way

Is that a good idea? Something heavy that can weaken the structure if water drips.

It is common sense to not place something on a sewage pit. It can cause structural damage that can weaken the sewage and cause it to collapse, years after you've harvested your crops.

God forbid some little kid is on the sewage at the time it collapses, or strolls there after it has collapsed.

Not advisable. Change location please

A neighbour gave you advise that would be in your best interest and you say she's being nosey

From the pic you posted it's obvious the soak away is at the back of the house which likely means they did not anticipate that cars would drive over it which means it was probably not reinforced with iron rods of at least 16mm so as to be able to carry such weight

It's a total waste of time advising someone that has pride.......Rose the concerned neighbour for just jejely mind her business.


Mrs. Over Sabi house wife don give her bad name for nairaland now.

Please relocate the crops, bro. That sewage pit has been deteriorating for years, and it is evident that the structure is already showing signs of weakness, even after the surface was plastered.

Even without being told, you should know that it could lead to collapse. Once the sand gets wet with water, it becomes heavier and could cause collapse. From.what I'm seeing..when those stuffs mixes with water, the weight could be around 20-30kg.. multiply it by the number there and see how much weight you have

Abi o. Nosy neihbour.

And you are seeking advice from other nosy Nairaland neighbours

Your neighbour is not being nosy. It will eventually collapse due to the weight of those sacks, pray the day it will collapse, you won't be ontop of it inspecting your yam

I hope you won't be the cause of death of someone. Of all the places, you decided to drop such weight on sewage pit that people are even advised against walking on. Na so yam cost and dey hungry you?

Safety first!
What if it collapses and something terrible happens to someone as a result? You don collect name forever be that.
And what if you are the one injured and that makes you disabled forever?
I even do my best to avoid walking on those sewage pits and you are overloading them with sand that is known to be very heavy.

You never kpansh her na why

She sad because she did same and hers collapsed .i told her that mine is entirely different.thanked her then walked away.

Interesting to chip in that...this same nosy neighbor has this penchant for finishing all my veggies for free.

If it was casted with rods it will hold the weight. You have no worries.

After calling her nosy abi? When she was only trying to be helpful.

If you like add more bags on top.

A word is enough for the wise

Did you use reinforced concrete beams and columns for the soak away pit? Is the slab reinforced and the concrete top rich? If yes, don't fear, nothing will happen

People like una no dey hear word

The problem here is,the present aggregated weight of those sacks filled with soil apart from crop weight will eventually increase as rain continues to fall and the inner structure that bears the slab or slab itself may be overburdened or overstressed.Again, rainwater may become stagnant on slab and gradually percolates through it resulting to its eventual collapse.

Sorry for not answering your question. I don't know. But is there a place one can go to get these lovely sand bags?

Kindly remove them sir. It may have short or long time effect.

Time to put a hidden camera.

Your neighbour may harvest them before you.

The same waste used as manure in some instances?
