Lead Contamination
 
The EPA has test my soil and said that levels of lead are above
acceptable levels. My question is can I grow edibles here? If so,
which ones can I grow and eat? And which can I not grow? EPA
has answered these questions, but I want to compare their answers
to the group.

Lead Contamination
 
If you have above acceptable lead levels, I wouldn't eat anything grown there.
Lead contamination has pretty serious consequenses.
Maybe a raised bed that is closed off to the ground directly?

Latest indications say that any lead contamination to children lowers I. Q.
significantly.
The EPA has clearly given industry the benefit of the doubt. Does that say
anything about political contributions from industry?
