Most plants that we eat are excellent at taking up heavy metals too - potatoes and herbs especially.

    I didn't know that! Thanks for sharing that info.

    I was really into growing culinary mushrooms for awhile was cautioned about my compost choices and to avoid fish based ones because mushrooms absorb mercury(and others like cadmium) particularly well. I didn't know potatoes and herbs did that too
