as an organic gardener, i learned to add (at 5#/100 sq ft-) fishmeal, in my usual soil amending. there is an old nyt article regarding this. every time i replanted an old sf garden, fishmeal was among the 14 soil amendments used commonly, due to the lead paint question in the garden’s history.
fishmeal binds to the metal and is not available to the plant. masanobu fukuoka used rye grass and mustard to do the same (in a seasonal serial planting), in old japanese journals and books.

Good talk in terms of creating awareness around the soil issue. It does feel that there could be a bit of a false equivalency here though. There’s a lot of environmental factors that could have encouraged that kid to bring a knife to school, especially in underserved communities. One way to strengthen the suggested connection being made here would be to look at cases of kids from those same communities who also had elevated lead levels, ADHD, etc… but didnt end up in the criminal system. What positive factors potentially kept them on a better path? If the “criminal” cohort was exposed to these positive factors, despite lead exposure, could they be rescued? Essentially saying lead exposure is a predictive path towards criminality is too loose of a correlation and detracts from the urgent issues at hand (mass lead contamination and, separately, troubled youth – both issues needing solutions).

Of course many angles of problems have to be addressed. This woman said nothing to suggest she ruled out other factors. Are you motivated in needing to make your comment?
@rockchalkJayhawk02
July 1, 2024 at 7:06 pm
@@totonow6955 not sure I follow your question, but I’ll try to answer. I felt motivated because based on the thumbnail saying “leads not just in the water -it’s in the soil too” in combination with the setup, it just felt it took a hard right turn. It was interesting at first but some of gaps I mentioned above had me seeking a more concrete connection in the data which never came. As I said, ultimately it’s compelling, but the argument presented has a few holes in it.

There is just so much political propaganda in this. “School to prison pipeline”? This kid was a danger to his peers and wasn’t gardening with that knife. The USA doesn’t have money to take care of the soil and to properly regulate because so much is spent in entitlement programs, including very highly in that area. Basic math says there’s only so much money. If you want more money available for soil programs you have to find a way to make that happen. People aren’t inhumane or heartless, they can just understand basic math.

To stop lead poisoning we would have to close most of the coal plants, as this is one of the major source of lead contamination world wide. It is also largely responsible for the selenium, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, thallium contamination in our water ways.
