At our Pocket City Farms swap this month we offered members free soil testing provided by the wonderful team at Vegesafe. Home gardeners brought their soil samples along and were able to have them analysed on site for metal and metalloid contaminants. What a valuable service to ensure that soil is safe for growing edibles in!
Local food charity, The Food Pantry also collected anyexcess at the end of the swap, there were lots of new members in attendance and plenty of crop shared. See below for just a few of the goodies that graced the tables.
