The other day we had some contact us asking if California Buffalograss would work well in a septic leach field and to be honest I had to google what the heck a septic leach field even was – I’m still not quite sure I understand… So I forwarded this question on to Wayne at Todd Valley Farms – the ‘OG’ on California Buffalograss – and he replied that it was a-ok! He responded that septic systems would not be a problem and he’s in fact done several similar installations. He said that California Buffalograss’s roots are very fine, not like a tree root, and when they get to the saturated area they will grow quickly.

So just in case any of you were wondering about septic leach fields, you’re good to go!
