Where to get potting soil??

I would like to plant some veggies, herbs and berry bushes in large pots this spring, but I am at a loss as to how to find soil that wasn't tainted by Fuke. Any ideas???

Nobody claimed..

Nobody claimed that you said radiation is good for you.

All we know is that the radiation from Mother Nature is MUCH, MUCH more than what comes from nuclear power plants.

Since you tolerate the radiation from Mother Nature, why would you not tolerate a much, much lower level from nuclear plants?

What would you know

There's also been plenty of "junk science" posted here over the last 10 months. I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference.

However, the reference I gave was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Evidently you are not a scientist, because otherwise you'd know that that is a very prestigious journal with the FINEST in scientific research.

Dig a hole & use the soil...

Dig a hole & use the soil... discard the top several inches. Perhaps supplement with minerals (check sourcing). I am recycling the soil from my raised beds into my new greenhouse, after having discarded the top few inches.
