i planted Sweet Basil on soil that had been treated with anti-termite chemicals (poisonous).
are the basil leaves safe to eat? or how long should I wait before i can be sure theyre safe to eat?
It would be best to know just what was applied to the soil, but I wouldn't eat any of the leaves.* Many chemicals stay in the soil for months or even years.
[align=left]Sorry to hear you had your soil tampered with.* Yes, please don't eat from your soil with possible poision added.[/align]
NO Because the pestecides kills the neturints in the herbs.
