    My son was growing lots of vegetables until he tested for lead. MAKE SURE YOU TEST YOUR SOIL FOR LEAD content. We were very surprised that his soil was not safe for young children to eat the food from. And not so great for adults either. This is in a city without industrial waste, such a surprise. He lives in a very upscale neighborhood where houses go for $500,00 and up.
