@aurora.rebecca Hadn't heard about corn being a soil detoxifier, but it makes sense. Another reason to grow your own or buy organic

This is such an interesting topic! I could get lost for hours researching the discussion, links and ideas. Oh wait - I already have. A few weeks ago, I thought I read that borage was an indicator plant for boron in that borage didn't grow where there was boron, so I'm off to find that again to string together thoughts about indicator plants. Not only can they detox, but they can show us where we should look for certain minerals, how we can remediate the land, what we should be eating. Pardon me.....I'm falling off the cliff.......again..........

@ tomandcara, tu for the soil clean-up news, I wld not use cannabis, I have yet to find seeds and also, Quebec is kinda quirky on planting this plant, tu-sunflower seeds it is-not very toxic, I am hoping rather to lay fallow the plot with a cover crop-I had heard potatoes r good to balanace the soil, also difficult because of an ancient law left on books in Quebec.

Even if the course- DE-TOX YOUR GARDEN SOIL (AVAILABLE SOON)- is never released, I have learned so much here in this discussion. Thank you all for creating a great resource here with references and experience. I am certain the value of this discussion will continue to increase as time goes forward. Again, thank you

@tomandcara Certain mushrooms are said to be the ultimate soil purifiers, utilizing a vast underground hidden web to do so.
