OK - I trust Freepers to know stuff... I’ve been wondering for years if I can plant a garden in my back yard. The problem is that we don’t have sewers in my suburban neighborhood, we have septic tanks.
About half of my backyard is septic lines, and the other half is downhill from my neighbor’s septic lines...
I’ve never felt comfortable planting. I may go with buckets or raised beds next year.
What do you think?
Find the closest horse stable and ask for a truckload of aged manure. My waste disposal company also gives away free compost. If yours does, get a truckload of that. I mix them 50-50. Outrageously healthy plants grow from it.
