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. kudzy |

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? LeeAnn |
