Hi again ACGA members,
A group in Madison, Wisconsin is considering starting a new community garden over an old capped landfill. Our city engineering department and DNR are taking soil samples now. The possibilities being discussed include bringing in 4 feet of clean topsoil to build up from the clay cap. Does anyone have experience with gardening over landfills? Any resources that you can recommend we read? Places where gardens have been successful on the top of old landfills? Many thanks, Janet Parker Community Gardens - CAC Food & Gardens 1717 N.
