Default Growing stuff over the septic tank

Do people often plant gardens over septic tanks to take advantage of the
soil quality there? How common is this?

I've run into some people who wouldn't think of it, and others who don't
think twice.

Thanks.


The soil over the septic tank is usually terrible -- shallow and full of
gravel. It's the *drain field* where the good soil is. A great place
to plant tomatoes. I wouldn't grow root crops there.
