after 1 cover (an old porch roof) collapsed and another was tractor-
damaged, i made a 17' diameter geodesic half-dome over my 6'x2' stone-
lined cesspool with 20 10' pieces of conduit and iron pipe hanger and
bolts and covered it with plastic film, with ripped conduit cap strips.
sunlight and solar heat and water and fertilizer make an interesting
jungle grow green inside all year, which helps evaporate water.
