ground cover over septic field?

Shady_1

I'm moving into my new house & I have never had a septic system before. I'm looking for a ground cover besides a lawn (I hate to mow)that I can plant over, & will not get into or harm the septic field. The area is mostly shady (under deciduous trees), Probably only gets 3-4 hrs of sun. I am considering Ajuga & Lily turf. Does anyone know if these plants would be ok over the septic field? Anyone with experience with this have any other ideas as to what kind of ground cover will be ok in this situation?
