Hello all! New here from Atlanta GA. We just bought a house on a lovely wooded lot with some existing wetlands and creek. Over the top excited to work with this land but a little overwhelmed. Long story short... OLD septic was functioning but drain field was saturated from high water table and county approved plans for a new one to be installed. NEW tank is in front yard now with pump system. My questions
1. How can I help my high water table OLD drain field cure itself (hopefully)?
2. Can I help the creek out with building up banks and such for flooding possibilities? It's in the far back yard
3. Can you build a hugel on top of marshy area if gravel was placed around beds and beds were taller?
Most of the plot is loam soil any advice accepted.
Also our front is all plowed now from install of new tank so suggestions maybe on ground cover for the winter? Ideas for permascape over a new drain field?
Thank you everyone! I look forward to this website as a resource
