Therefore, this Spring, we had the soil tested to get a baseline as to the composition of the soil. We will use the sunflowers as a way to remediate the soil and retest next Spring to see what kind of effect, if any, the sunflowers have had on the soil. It is our goal to ensure the plot’s safety as a future public food growth site. Enjoy the garden and be sure to check back in next year, to see the results of our Sunflower/Soil Experiment.
