Totally moved the topsoil to the side of the garden and made a huegelbed with it. The reason is that it is infused with many little pieces of blue paint that came down from the roof. Not knowing how poisonous this pollution is I first have tried to take out the most dense polluted soil, but came to the conclusion it is much more mixed than I thought. Impossible to take out. Super annoying. I have added a lot of bokashi (basically pickled kitchen waist) to the huegelbed and hope the micro organisms in the soil will help to break down any dangerous materials. Next I removed all stones from the soil down to 60 cm (I like to grow burdock/gobo ) With the stones I could make the edges of the newly made raised garden beds. Ideal lizard habitat! Lizards will help to eat the bad bugs that damage my vegetables. Then I added more bokashi and compost in the soil and added some composted cow and chicken manure in the end. One bed got carrots, parsley lettuce and marigolds. The others will proba
