This Weeks Family Health West Health Tip: Charcoal. Not just for BBQs! Not sure what kinds of pesticide residue remains in your garden? Remedy that with a mixture of activated carbon and water. Combine 1 pound charcoal with 1 gallon water, transfer to a spray bottle, and mist directly onto the soil. This is especially useful if you’re starting a garden from scratch and aren’t sure how the area was treated in the past. The charcoal-water mixture can absorb any nasty chemicals before getting to work on your garden.
