Garden Soil?

Our neighbor busy revamping her garden. New soil needs adding to this little flower garden, hence the heap of ‘dead’ soil in the driveway. A great morning to spend time in the garden after 9mm of rain yesterday. We still need more rain.

Question by triplet dad: Garden Soil?
I’m planning on starting a vegetable garden in my back yard and I am wondering if I need to have the soil tested for contaminants first. So people eating the harvest don’t get sick. Is this necessary?
