Re: Soil toxin bioremediation

Regarding lead remediation in soil:
    At the Eco Fair in Austin, Texas four years ago there was a symposium on hemp. The
issue of lead contaminated soil in Hungary was addressed and hemp was being used as the
remedial crop. The hemp seed was then pressed for oil and the high concentration of
lead in the hemp oil made it very suitable for stable paint base.  This application was
for non food consumption. I do not remember the refering source, try Hemptech.
    Hempstead, Texas was founded by Sherwin Williams to grow hemp seed for oil based
paints.
