Field Pile

Field Pile What sort of edible berries can one plant over a leech field?

I was told that Blueberries could be grown over this area, as the roots do not go deep, and therefore won't disturb the lines any. I wanted something to grow there other than grass that I would have to mow, and all that was growing there was weeds and Poke root, which does have deep roots. I ripped those out with a Rototiller last month. The problem I have is in the growth medium. Are these berries safe to eat if grown in this manner? I know some people put manure on their vegetable garden as part of their compost. I do not. I have a separate compost pile used strickly for non fruit or veggie bearning plants, and this works fine for them. I am not cognizant as to how deep the leech lines are laid in a typical configuration. Maybe, since the drainage is downward into the soil below the lines, that this doesn't present a problem with the shallow roots of the Blueberry. I just don't know. Any help would be appreciated.

Strawberries are very shallow-rooted. Blueberries in acidic soil, or they will NOT be happy, and will eventually give up. I don't know about the safety of edibles grown on a leech field. Yes, people put "manure" on their gardens - but it's usually compsted first - not fresh. And it also makes a difference what kind of manure. Generally, vegertarian animals' manure is best. Most people do NOT put dog, cat, or human manure on their gardens.
