not sure if this is the right subforum for this. trying to find one that members keep up with. move this if need be stoney.

Got a friend that does outdoor beds of wood lovers. He can give me spores so I can have a go. Question:

I want to create mulch beds, they would be 100ft behind an 8ft fence, which in turn is 150ft away from a major street in a big city. We're talking 10-20k cars per day. Less than a mile or two from 3 major highways also. So the soil (behind a fence for what that's worth) has been collecting heavy metals for 30+ years. We've all heard of mycelium collecting and concentrating toxins yada yada yada.

1. Is this concentrating effect over hyped?
2. Is there any way to carry out my plan safely? I was thinking have the beds covered (so no further accumulation) and maybe dispose of the first crop or two, or give away to some kindergartners . Then the ground will be clean of heavy metals and it won't get anymore in it.
3. Do I need to worry about any other magic plants, fruit plants, magic cacti, edible cacti, grafting cacti, etc. collecting heavy metals?

Thoughts?

I agree with everything said. I would also vote green party asap if they had a chance to win. I wouldn't vote libertarian because, well, alot of reasons. I hold my nose and vote for D cause = less war, more equal rights, and a bunch of other stuff. Can anyone say with a straight face that Gore would've brought the pain like Bush. The record kinda blows that outa the water. Or that Bush would've won without Nader pulling all those few votes. I kinda like the looks of the argument on this territory, so lets keep it here. Is anyone able to convincingly overturn what I feel is this bulletproof  line of reasoning? If not, there's an historical case for why 3rd party is playing with fire! Its on the mathematical level.

I'm interested, i might not have enough posts or something though

Nader was on CNN during 2000 election saying a vote for Gore is a vote for Bush it doesn't matter 3rd party is the only difference and Nader was gonna change things. Well, I love ya Nader, but you bear most of the blame for Bush being elected. I always hear scotus picks are the most important reason to vote. I disagree. I tend to think all those 100,000s lives ended or shattered in war are more important than scotus. Does anyone think we would've diverted to Iraq had Bush lost? Or Guantanamo, or 08 crash, or any of this crap. This is what voting 3rd party does. We're still digging out from under it. Talk about opportunity cost, we'll never be the same. Gotta vote anti-hate, anti-greed, pro-people, and thats only 1 option.

the dems are so scared of being labeled weak on defense, on anything really, its sad. politics have really just devolved into a messaging war. this is why they did libya, why they keep up afghanistan, alot of why they bust mmj clubs, etc. now indefinite detention cause they are so desperate to at least act bipartisan (they're just gonna slap down your hand, quit reaching out Obama). you know its a shitty bill when dem president pushes it, but it passes with little dem but mostly rep support in congress. anyone smell treason?
