Q: What is the best ground cover for a septic field?

• <div><p>The best <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/landscaping-around-your-septic-system.htm">landscaping for a septic drain field</a> is shallow-rooted grass or native vegetation that helps prevent soil erosion while allowing water to evaporate efficiently. Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or deep-rooted plants near the drain field because the roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages. Using mulch or gravel sparingly can also help retain moisture and protect the system without restricting airflow.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to cover your plants with a tarp?

• <div><p>It is for the purpose of protecting them from hail because you&rsquo;ll be removing it soon after the threat is over. However, plastic or vinyl tarps aren&rsquo;t recommended as a long-term way of protecting your plants from frost because they&rsquo;ll trap too much moisture inside, which is actually not a good thing for your plants. But in the short term, it&rsquo;s fine to use even an overturned garbage can to protect a plant from hail.</p></div>

Q: What environmental factors should be considered in lakefront landscaping?

• <div><p>Environmental considerations include native plant selection, wildlife habitation, erosion prevention measures, and managing water runoff patterns to protect the lakefront ecosystem.</p></div>

Q: What can I plant over my septic leach field?

• <div><p>Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don&rsquo;t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.</p><p> </p></div>
