Dennis,

This is a great point! It is important to know what is in the soil around our homes and it is an often overlooked aspect of health.

It’s unfortunate that it was common practice to bury chemicals and unwanted materials during construction. When was your home built?

Thanks for a great sounding recipe Aimee, I’ll definitely give it a try.

Aside for the issues of what have might be sprayed on the plants you eat, it is sometimes important to know what kind of soil they are grown in. It isn’t always possible to know and I never really gave it a lot of thought until I planted a Pear tree. While digging to get the spot right I uncovered a pile of construction debris that included some very nasty chemicals.

Curious I went to another spot in my yard where we had noted that nothing ever seemed happy there. Sure enough, after digging down a ways I found more junk and waste from when they built all the houses in our cul-desac (sp).
