Thanks.
Yes, anaerobic rot, bad rot, in the septic tank confused me. A host of anaerobic critters. Are all anaerobes tiny bacteria? Don't bigger critters like worms require air?

The only thing I *don't* know is how the anerobic conditions of a septic
tank differ from the aerobic composting conditions of regular
above-ground composting. If I were you, I would compost for longer than
6 months, though with blackberries, there is no fruit-soil contact so
you're probably fine. Personally I would add a fresh nitrogen source and
re-heat the pile and monitor the composting temperatures. I would also
work to aerate the pile well during the composting stage.
Here are two books on the topic:
