I’m interested in rehabbing a degraded piece of land for use as a regenerative farm and am considering buying a 17 acre property that was previously a driving range. It has been covered in astroturf for several years, maybe even a decade or two. I’m curious about what the soil rehabilitation process will involve, as I assume it is contaminated with microplastics. Does anyone know about what the dangers of growing food in the soil post-astroturf would be? Does anyone know what the process will look like to remove the microplastics or even if it’s possible? Can it be done with permaculture methods somehow? Mushrooms? Something else? Roughly what the cost will be? What companies would you recommend to do this kind of remediation? Any kind of information is helpful.
