Posted by Keith Saunders on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 7:04 pm ADTMy wife has planted a forsythia in our septic drain field. Given their growth rate, should I be concerned about the roots clogging up my drain field pipes?

Posted by kathy on Friday, May 16, 2008 5:21 pm ADTWe had a forsythia root in our septic bed and it had to be moved. the roots were into everything. i would definitely consider moving it...they'll do really well down hill from the pipes-they love the water and the fertilizer. but i would definitely not leave it in the area of the weeping bed pipes.
