Chapter 2 - The Freeway

Right after I got the idea for my rooftop garden, I started getting worried about the air pollution near my house. We live right next to the freeway, which gets lots of traffic, so it's pretty likely that the air quality on my roof is less than perfect. I talked about this with a few people at the City Slickers event, and came to the general conclusion that while the air might not be great for my plants, the vegetables should be fine with a rinse. One friend commented that my organic vegetables from my roof are likely to be much better for me than vegetables treated with pesticides, even with the air pollution. So I think I'll probably be okay, and I'm going ahead with the plans. If anyone has any expertise, feel free to give a shout.
