Healthy soil and sustainable growing

re: homemade water purifiers

I think Ken is saying that there are some natural
filters for your chickens and goats, or that you
should use chicken tractors and collars to control
their boundaries.  But water is a fabulous solvent,
and the dangers from the roadways are significant, but
very expensive to test for.

Zinc and cadmium are uncontrollable poisons available
in vast quantities along roadways.  Tires, especially
radial tires, grind into superfine dust that has large
surface area to give up up those ingredients to
surface runoff, that feeds aquifers.

But I am afraid you may have revealed a very common
agricultural problem that we have not tested for,
except in the birth defect, cancer, autism, and
syndrome-proportion syndrome that is our modern
epidemic.
   
Sincerely Scared, 
Zachary
With apologies to Ken Hargesheimer! - maybe we can
accurately say "I believe you are looking for a
solution for a problem that does not exist, YET."
