The branches of the apple tree in Michael Armstrongs backyard are heavy
with fruit, but the west-end man refuses to eat his bountiful harvest.
Instead, he will compost four bushels of apples and let local raccoons
gobble up the rest.
Armstrong doesnt trust that the fruit is safe for his family to consume.
Or more precisely, he doesnt trust that the soil in which they grow is
safe.
My neighbourhood has a long history of contamination, Armstrong says of
the south Junction Triangle, once a highly industrialized area. We have a
2-year-old and a 6-year-old and we dont want them eating anything that is
questionable.
It is for residents like Armstrong that the city is developing a
soil-contaminant protocol. To be released next year, the protocol will
help urban gardeners determine if their soil is contaminant-free. If its
not, the protocol will explain how they can still grow edible fruits and
vegetable on their property. This might involve doing raised-bed gardening
or having their soil remediated.
The main targets of the protocol are those who garden in community and
allotment gardens and on vacant land. Backyard gardeners like Armstrong
can also benefit.
The objective is to put tools in the tool box of city staff and residents
and empower them with the information they need to make informed choices
about where and how they garden, explains Josephine Archbold, a research
consultant in the environmental protection office of Toronto Public
Health.
