Jeff--do a Google for "bioremediation." There are plants that are quite
good at taking up and sequestering heavy metals and other harmful
substances. Note that the plants usually then have to be burned in
enclosed furnaces, because the toxins are still present.

Hello all.

I'm a militant earthy-crunchy (seriously), but I'm not here to cause
political riff-raff.

I'm looking to compile a list of known seeds that will grow plants that
are able to absorb significant amounts of chemicals, pesticides, and
other well known harmful materials.

Could anyone give me pointers/URL's that would help in my research?

The environment where these plants will grow is central Massachusetts,
and yes, the plants need to be legal. ;-)

Any help greatly appreciated.
