Yeah, City Slickers in Oakland stopped testing the soil and just told everyone that they should use raised beds. Problem is that there are so many fruit trees and self starting plants that I want to eat (I'm looking at you collards), but I'd like to know what I'm getting into.
Also I've read that sunflowers are really good at pulling up heavy metals, and all of the bags that I purchase have warning labels on them. I'm curious if this is a real concern!
- kombookcha 2y agoIIRC sunflowers store heavy metals in their fatty tissues, which means it's particularly concentrated in their seeds, so if you're using them to pull heavy metals out of your soil you should probably be sending the wilted plant away at the end of the season, seeds and all.
