I live across the street from a gas station/truck stop. How can I still have a garden?
I hope you guys can help me out, I got a bit overwhelmed trying to find actual soil testing for contamination so I just have to operate on the basis my soil is contaminated from run off. I live right across the street from a truck stop/gas station. I want to have a garden but I'm afraid to plant directly in the ground. Is my only option to plant in containers or raised garden beds? I didn't think weed barrier would be enough to keep contamination out of the plants since I want to grow some vegetables.
Thanks in advance for any advice and information.
There are a lot of bugs thriving in my soil if that means anything. Snails, Slugs, rolly pollys, centipedes, millipedes, worms, ants, stick bugs.
