Saving water isn’t an issue for most of us here in Michigan. I am considering tomato plants over the drainfield though.
I don't know if it will prevent more water dripping on the down slope side of the system but it sure will be less than the flooding they would normally get.

It will be when they start stealing the water from the Great Lakes for everywhere else. Also, we have salty well water and can’t use it on the garden. We either save rain water and gravity feed it to the garden in back or water with pails. It is SUCH a pain, but tomatoes are worth it.
