Reply #5: Alders and poplars

[sweetheart]

Aspens are hardy trees for that. "populus tremula", but any
of the "populus" will do, as they are, like alders, water trees,
and can handle wet soil, and crumby soil conditions.

I've just had to empty my septic tank, digging it out, shifting
the lid and using a bucket to empty the shit out on to a grassy field.
Its stinky work, but saves the cost of a pumper truck. I've just
been today re-burying directly over the tank, not the runoff drain,
and there just some grass seed. (but its wet here, so grass will
grow naturlaly no problemo)

Over the runoff drain, i'm experimenting with several species of bamboo,
and broadleaf trees, and willows (wet ground).
