David,

Not a big deal but it is spelled “gardener.” You forgot an ‘e’ in the first paragraph.

ummm – greensand, lime, crab meal, etc ARE chemicals – everything is chemicals. Natural fertilizers are chemicals. The human body is chemicals.

I think you mean synthetic fertilizers.

Lime does indeed counteract acidity. I’ve rephrased that line to make it clear. Thanks

Soil/lead experts debunk the myth that the lead level in the White House Kitchen Garden is dangerous, and point out that it’s politically inflammatory to claim that the garden is “contaminated”

Lime does not increase acidity, it counteracts it.
