>> The septic garden, I take it, uses seepage from the septic tank? I'm unfamiliar with tanks' capabilities. <<
It started as a bare patch around the tank outlets. I tried to grow grass, but it wouldn't, and wound up just weeds. So I've put down more soil and tried growing various other things. It still gets a lot of crabgrass, foxtails, and other weeds but I can usually grow some flowers too. And the sedum thrives there.
>>I've snipped kalanchoe bits from the main plant, per your links, so I truly hope by November to see evidence that they've taken hold due to the suggested watering schedule. <<
I hope it works!
>>My gardening principle is "I'll coddle you for one month and then you're on your own!"<<
I may go more than that, but yeah, I prefer laissez-faire permaculture.
