We don't burn garbage, but we probably will occasionally burn limbs and wood.

I don't know. How deep is it? I know a big fire can get hot enough to melt aluminum cans and glass bottles, and the ashes in a burn pile can be hot for a couple of days after a fire. How deep is a leach field?

My thought is why take the chance ? I had to dig mine up under the cover of darkness 5 years ago. That is a job I hope to never do again , or pay for .

Right, I don't want to have any issues with the septic system.
