From time to time the BCNA has received reports of pockets of contaminated soil in resident’s gardens. Whilst this usually doesn’t cause a problem for normal use, it may impact those who are growing veggies. We have discovered that the EPA has a project which offers free testing of soil samples, with participants receiving individual reports on their gardens and advice from EPA on how to change their gardens so that it is safe for food production. Details about the project, including a link for registration, can be found here.
This is the web voice of the Beacon Cove Neighbourhood Association, Inc., Port Melbourne, Australia. It provides information on who the association is, our aims and aspirations for our shared community, and information on our activities.
