Anything you take from your garden, you’ll need to peel and wash carefully. Wash it so that it’ll be safe for consumption.
Lastly, maintain good mulch in your garden around your plants and between your rows. This will ensure in keeping contaminants away from the surface of your garden produce and it will help to prevent the dusting of your topsoil. By doing so, you’ll also retain important nutrients in the soil.
