Now at the "D" box or 22 years ago when working for an excavation outfit, we used to do quite a few new systems, and there was one "D" box with the appropriate amount of holes for the number of leach lines to be connected, and at the connection into the box were these devices that you adjust to do about the same thing, I forget now if they were set to drain equally or staged so that each would drain in succession of each other, "D" box was level and the perforated drain tile was set 1/8" per foot slope, set on a bed of clean crushed #2 stone, covered in #2 stone, inspected at some point, red rosin paper over the top layer of stone, then backfilled with appropriate fill, usually planted in grass.

I have a garden patch over ours, been there since the place was built,not sure if it totally aligned, I don't grow rooted vegetables there, corn as of late, til the deer got it, but in the dry hot weather we had, no weeds at the time, never had to water the corn, either the soil holds the moisture, (clay) or what. I've never had any trouble except when the ground gets saturated and there is that freeze thaw thing, that will back up the leach field, rare occurrence, once in 30 or more years, pumped the tank, and that was it for that incident. I only till 8" or so down, my father actually started this plot and used it many years until he moved.
