- Subject: [permaculture] kiddie pool leachate
- Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2003 09:42:08 -1000
I got a load of kiddie pools - the premolded
plastic type - at an auction. I've been using them for little ponds -
azolla, hyacinth, fish from the local ponds. The water plants are to be
used as mulch around the garden & orchard.
However -
We were talking about growing edible plants in
these pools (wet taro) and someone said that this type of plastic will leach
nasty stuff into the plants grown in it. This brought up the question -
are there any health hazards with using the water plants from the pond
as mulch for other plants? Should it be used for non-food crops
only or something?
Thanks!
Elijah
