If the garden occupies a location where toxins and other contaminants leeched into the soil, how can you be sure that the vegetables have not absorbed them? That would happen in the normal nutrient cycle. Even if the soil was tested, have the plants been tested? Just because the vegetables look really healthy, doesn't mean they are (even with Emiko's vinegrette).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11491158.post-29832592053639446592008-03-23T03:11:00.000-07:002008-03-23T03:11:00.000-07:00lettuce looks deli~~~~cious. i'do go with vinegret...lettuce looks deli~~~~cious. i'do go with vinegrette.Emikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005247260795909652noreply@blogger.com
