Hi all, My local community garden had some soil delivered by the city, but there is some concern about the potential that the soil is not safe to grow edible plants.
Is there any reliable way to test if soil is appropriate to grow edibles? My local extension school offers lots of nutrient and biomass tests, but I don't see anything about testing for contaminants.
I realize that the pool of potential contaminants in soil is inexhaustible. However, what would people recommend as basic precautions.
Thanks, Tim
