So I really want my #baby to get tons of early exposure to #soil #microbes (a bit tricky in a Minnesota winter!)…

…but I massively don’t want her to get unnecessary exposure to the #HeavyMetals that the soil around here is hugely contaminated with.

How have other parents solved this conundrum? If I buy soil from a garden store, is it actually less contaminated than the ground? (That’s the point of raised beds, right? But is it true?)
