Are store-bought soils safe for growing vegetables?
Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800
We put them to the lab test to get the real dirt on dirt. In September I wrote about an unsettling incident in which I'd found high levels of lead in the chard I'd grown in a backyard planter box filled with store-bought soil. According to the head of the lab that did the testing, I shouldn't have eaten more than one-quarter pound of the leaves a day or I'd risk lead poisoning.

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800
The City by the Bay has an acclaimed citywide program ahead of efforts in the City of Angels. Jorge Santiesteban estimates that food scraps constitute roughly 15% to 25% of what goes into black garbage bins in Los Angeles. The solid resources manager for the city has been struck by the seasonal changes in how much food we throw away ever since 1997, when a week after Thanksgiving, he had a garbage truck empty its contents for him. Santiesteban picked through the trash, putting like objects with like, until a clear picture emerged. This is what is known in recycling circles as a "waste characterization."
