- Plant only grass over and near your leaching bed to aid in evaporation and prevent erosion.
- Don’t allow trees or shrubs to grow too close to the leaching bed or tank as their roots can clog or damage your system.
- Do not apply manure or fertilizers over the leaching bed.
- Keep vehicles and livestock off your leaching bed and away from your septic tank. Excessive weight can damage the pipes and tank, and your system may not drain properly under compacted soil.
-Keep gutters and basement sump pumps from draining into or near your leaching bed, avoid heavy lawn watering and divert other forms of runoff.
