Glad you brought this up Georg. I've always wondered about how utilization of
plants that are known to store heavy metals affects compost, food grown from
that compose etc.

Persons who advocate such use often offer little scientific proof. The best
hope is that in the process of breaking these things down somehow the heavy
metals are either converted to a harmless form or are somehow used up.

As you can see I don't have a clue about the actual process:) Frank
