hello,
i've just begun a vegetable garden with my cousin on my aunt and
uncle's property. the spot we are planting is right next to a burn
pile. many of the ashes of burnt garbage have been dumped on the
area. while i was digging in the ground i found pieced of charred
plastic and even a battery at on point. i am concerned that this is
not health to be growing in? does any one have advice for me?

happy gardening,
margie

This post is so outrageous as to seem a troll.

cest la vie!

Of course you're planting on polluted ground! Get your food as far
away as possible. Testing pH is scurrilous approcah to an
environmental disaster!

Build raised beds of healthy soil!
