willow trees will remove the lead in about 4 years.....nobody eats them

I appreciate your enthusiasm and hard work. However, when it comes to phytoremediation, you are making the lead more bio-available. There are currently no incinerators in the US that accept plants which have been used to remove heavy metals from soil. Do not put them in a landfill - despite RockinJoeDavis' well-intentioned advice. I'm glad you are trying to restore balance to the soil - but do a little more research and I'm sure you'll find a safer method.

The lead ends up in the plants and is extremely bio-available in that form.
And you feed that stuff to women's shelters?
Lead phytoremediation simply ends up with the lead in the plants!

You are supposed to landfill the surface plants in the fall. Why all the nasty and racist comments folks, there is no food being grown and no forced labour involved. The vacant property looks good with sunflowers.

How come there weren't any black people working??
what do you do with the sunflowers that are full of lead??
corn is a waste of time on a small scale.
but keep on rocking!!

Good for you! Phytoremediation is remediation done by plants. Where did the lead in soils come from?
