Septic System Demo Garden


Having just experienced this years' thrill....having a septic system
installed, I'm seriously contemplating building our major perennial
demonstration bed on top of it.  The drainfield comes within 5 feet of
the parking area.  If I build an enormous perennial bed on top of the
drainfield and front the whole thing with a decorative barrier, cars
won't be able to drive forward enough to crush my inspection ports. 
I'd also like to include on it, a smallish tree or two.  What does
anybody have to say about this idea?  Will I wreck the system? 
Perennials as a rule, shouldn't have roots so extensive that they go 24
inches down and foul the drainfield, right?
