Safe Garden Space

The important thing is not to upset the septic tank drainfield. Also remember that draifields have a finite life and at some point it will have to be dug up and relaid.
How about if you you laid a porous membrane over the drainfield and constructed a raised bed over it - remembering that at some point you will have to dismantle it. I think I might stick to plants that just produce above the surface rather than root vegetables.

Hi HW. I have a similar problem in that I don't want to grow anything in my soil next year due to blight spores. My temporary solution (to give the soil a chance to recover after treatment) is to grow all of my veg next year in tubs or containers. I am busy collecting as many as I can lay my hands on. Large size troughs, buckets, trugs anything that will hold sufficient soil and has holes in will be pressed into service. Not a long term solution I know but if you are stuck for one or two seasons it may provide a solution. Best of luck.

Thanks for the replies guys....My hubby (the scientist type) loves the idea of the cloth over the surface of the ground, but Ian I think I am going to utilize both Ideas.

I tried container gardening this year, but put 2 plants per container instead of just one...not enuf space, sadly.
But we have access to 55 gal drums (food Grade), for relatively cheap...so I am having hubby cut them down the middle to lay on their sides, and then we will make wooden x's for them to rest in...should be plenty of dirt for a few plants then!

I can then have a "normal" garden space and a transportable one! Thanks for the great help Ian and Bulbaholic
