Be careful what your planting. If it's an old dump your tomatoes may be growing in a heavy amounts of toxic metal wastes and other stuff dumped there all those years ago and waiting to suck them up and be eaten.

I agree with Eric.. Tomatoes with suck any waste there around that is why they have Salimonia from time to time

You could try sending a soil sample up to Baton Rouge just to be on the safe side.

They are all from around 1900 or so.

thanks to all concerned about where i'm digging being an old dump but there (until recently) there was a home there for over 100 yrs. Where i'm digging it looks as though bottles were just thrown under the house and covered with loads of sand after demolished. appears to have been a dump site on other side of lot . Most veggies are grown in my own back yard. thanks for concerns and info on bottles. Rodney

With all the aforementioned cautions in mind, I would dig that entire lot down to bare, unlittered soil. There is some real potential there. Jim

That hutch soda alone would make me take a week off work and dig that place out. That is,,,, if I had to work. [8D][]
