In most instances of toxic soil, the conventional solution has been to “Dig and Haul” dig up the toxic soil and haul it to another place where it becomes someone else’s problem. At the Resilience Hub we have capped the soil with mulch to protect neighbors in the short term and we plan to employ bioremediation techniques to see if we can’t clean the soil in place over time. There are new untested, potentially more cost effective approaches that involve working with compost, mushrooms and plants. Are you interested in learning more about this and potentially participating in some events or classes around these techniques?
