    Every building before like 1978 has lead paint, but people forget that so does the land around them. I live in an area with older homes and we’re frequently warned not to grow vegetables within 10’ of the house because the soil is too likely lead contaminated from peeling or stripping exterior paint over the years

      It’s definitely worth having your soil tested before growing anything you plan to ingest in an urban environment.
