septic field mound??????????????????
Real attractive, huh?

What do you do with this other than to turn it into a prairie.

I'm going to layer this with thousands of pieces of newspaper to start killing off the grass this coming spring and I'll sink about 1,000 prairie plants in this area and I'll mix in native grass seeds such as little blue stem and such. That ought to cover up that septic field and in about 3-4 years it should look a little better. I was thinking a little footpath of stepping stones to the right of the mound and then cutting over the top of it to that kid's play house but who knows what I'll end up doing. I need to kill that grass and start from there.

Nasty, isn't it?
