Leach field...beaten to death...
Hello all,
I did a google search regarding planting on top of a leach field, but got differing opinions. I would like to put some roses, etc. My field is 3-4 feet underground. I can't image a rose garden would screw it up. Does it ?? I wouldn't do an oak tree !! What are your thoughts ?? |

Even vegetables should be OK, since pathogens don't travel through the roots to the plants. This assumes you don't dump heavy metal residuess and really toxic stuff into your septic system. That would be more of a threat to your septic system than the plants would. |
