Rusting raised beds -- safe to use for vegetables?
I have some rust developing in my metal raised garden beds and want to confirm with you experts that this won't be toxic or otherwise dangerous. They are about four years old and were purchased from metalgardenbeds.com. I think they are galvanized steel. I know rust is not a problem itself but would the zinc leaching into the soil/being absorbed by the plants pose any risks? Just trying to educate myself, especially because my four-year-old son eats a lot of the produce we grow.
