This is of interest to me.  The county health department recently told me that tree in the lateral field of a septic system is a good thing as the absorption of water by the roots helps keep the lines from getting water logged.   Also, I recently heard (I think on this forum) that black locust is not a recommended fodder for goats as it is toxic to them.   Anyone else hear this?

I have black locust taking over my yard.  It has sprung up under the
 house, 
invaded water, leach and septic lines.  It was in the yard when we
 bought 
the property.   I would be careful planting it as a border.
