I'm dying to rip out a chunk of our pretty small back yard for some edibles. It's next to an old garage w/ flaking paint, and I wondered - how does one go about making sure the soil is safe (i.e. no heavy metals or contamination) especially if you have little ones running about. The gas station plots got me thinking more about it...any thoughts on how to proceed with soil testing for a yard garden?

I unfortunately don't have a green thumb, even with the best of intentions, maybe next year my front yard will look like one of these! Thanks.

Right now it is a bunch of grass, which is fine, but also large beds of flowers and non-edibles. The first stage is working edibles into the existing beds, but I may eventually end up converting the grass areas to more productive growing space.
