Hiding the septic tanks has led to the development of the succulent pot garden. In fact the area with stones is full of pots with a variety of plants from bird of paradise (Strelitizia) to mistletoe cactus (Rhipsalis). A friend donated large Nandinas, that they removed from their garden so we had an instant hedge that added a nice screen between our place and the neighbours.
This could also be called "Let's Disguise the Septic Tanks". The west side of the house has the septic system with large sand filters, meaning that we can't grow large trees and it has concrete lids to mow around. We decided this would be a good place for a vegetable garden. We've installed a raised bed for veges and will eventually add a couple of smaller raised beds for rotation and spring plantings of beans, tomatoes and zucchini.
