I put this on gardening but thought people here might know more.
I have a septic tank in the back garden ( its a large back garden. Its currently covered with grass but the stretch where the tank is is long and flatish ( slight slope to the right) and did have apple trees on it once nut those died several years ago. I was wondering if it was OK to dig up this section of land and put a garden in ? Would I be likely to disturb anything important ( like drains) by digging round and down from the septic tank for a garden bed about 100 ft long and 20 feet wide?
