Amazing.

The studys say outright that ground rubber is unsuitable for growing plants
and using it results in high levels of zinc that are toxic to plants.

The stuff should be pulled from the store shelves immediately.

Lowes did not do their homework before considering selling the stuff to the
public. They are leaving themselves wide open to being sued for selling
toxic material!!

Crumb rubber as bulking agent does not have to be listed as "crumb rubber"
in the packaging details, but only as bulking agent or some other
imprecise listing. It's in so many products already that marketing some of
it openly as crumb rubber isn't going to get Lowes sued. Government
agencies are encouraging these uses, & several environmental agencies have
become little more than shills to further promote these unsuitable
products.
