Planting clover over leaching field

bgarden
16 years ago

Hello,

I'm looking for a solution, other than grass, to grow over my leaching field. My property is all sand and the weeds grow to over 4' high over this area. Someone has told me to consider clover. Can this be grown over a septic system? Is there a certain breed of clover that is best suited?

If anyone has other ideas, please feel free to suggest. Also, I've read that it's not a good idea to run heavy equipment over a leaching field. But this appears to be based on older clay tile systems. My home is only 3 years old, so I imagine it's a more updated system.

Thanks!
