A Note to Urban Gardeners

I just read this article - Please take a moment to look it over if you're planning to plant a garden in an urban area this spring, if your home was built before 1977, or if your garden will be next to a roadway.

If you're worried that you may have lead or other heavy metals in your soil, you can send a sample to a lab for testing - The cost is only $10.

Don't let a little lead stop you from planting, though!  You could fill some raised beds with fresh soil, plant in pots, or just make sure you wash your veggies well before eating. 

Growing your own organic produce is the most delicious way to positively impact our planet!
