In Detroit, urban farming waiting to take root

[SWMAP]

The Hantz people have many soil samples tested and report small contamination overall.

What does this mean ? Is there a report available online? Where did they test? What contaminants?
Did Hantz explain how they planned to clean up brownfields?

Have worked several Detroit urban farms. Generally soil contaimination kits are provided by WCE. Surprising but true, mostly soil tests clean. Still many urban farmers prefer the raised bed method.

If anyone wants a good laugh, I contributed labor to the Alter berm project. Someone donated straw mixed manure from the Hunt Club. I thought it was sanitized cow shit. I was knee and elbow deep in shit before the smell hit me.We used dead fish heads too from area fishermen. I was pretty randy when I got home.
