Sudbury Shared Harvest seeking gardens to host test plots as group looks to determine the state of heavy metal contamination of local soils
Want to take part in a research project? Sudbury Shared Harvest is seeking host garden volunteers to explore the state of heavy metal contamination of local soils to determine the safety of growing food in the city.
“We’re looking for people who already grow food directly in the ground rather than in raised beds,” said Carrie Regenstreif, executive director of Sudbury Shared Harvest. “That’s important because the soil for raised beds could have come from anywhere, whereas in-ground gardens will probably include at least some soil from that location.”
When the plants are at the edible stage, the group’s staff will collect as many as are needed, which will be dried and analyzed for a selection of heavy metals.
