raised bed garden
Raised garden beds made of old sheets of tin, potential to contaminate food with heavy metals?
We have a large vegie garden with heaps of raised beds. They are constructed with sheets of old rusty sheets of tin. I guess they would be 3 feet wide, with at least 2 feet of tin below the ground and the remaining area filled with soil. Would growing root vegetables and tomato’s etc in these garden beds be likely to produce fruit and vege contaminated with heavy metals?
Unless the tin is soldered with lead, there shouldn’t be an issue. I’m not sure how durable the tin will be, but that’s a different issue.
