got a chuckle out of the pigs idea...pretty good one. when they dug, they were in there with a dozer and a track hoe, so should be somewhat compacted. I wish I had done more research when they dug it; I would have done the bentonite thing then. Gonna try to let it stabilize to a point and try a limited bentonite fix. if that doesn't work, I guess i'll rent the trash pump and empty it
thanks for all the suggestions
