When I saw your post, I was hoping for a knowledgeable response
because mine is like that too. An evaporation field is closer to the
surface and I would suspect that neutrients from the septic would make
the grass grow better and roots would not dry out. ( I do know that if
there are spots growing vigorously that septic is coming up.) Maybe
we are applying too much fertilizer. Also my backyard pH is low and
there is a lot of moss in spots which would indicate liming is
necessary which I did last month.
