Vegetable Gardens on Septic Fields?

**"e.merge" h*@direct.ca**

Dear Gardenwriters and other Experts:

I have a question for anyone on the list who might have experience with
planting a vegetable garden above a septic field. Instinctively, I find the
idea repugnant, but it wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong. What can
I say? I guess these folks don't want to "waste" space. 

Thankyou. If you think it is appropriate to reply off-list, please do so.
