Hi everybody,
I teach at a high school in Miami, FL, where we have been growing a garden for many years. This year our administration decided to revamp our land lab and moved our garden beds to another side of the land lab. Unfortunately they did not move the soil I have been nurturing for all these years, nstead, they brought in soil from a donor that I know nothing about.
I am concerned about growing food in that soil next school year because since the three months the soil is there, no weeds have grown and there is no sign of life besides fire ants. In my previous soil, in a couple of days all sort of plants would grow, a healthy sign in my opinion.
I would like to have that soil tested before the start of the next school year, does anybody know of a place I can send samples to? I would like to know about any pesticide residue and contaminants if possible.
Thanks everyone!
Cecilia
