I don't think so. So I wouldn't necessarily create a 200 pod farm from orange HD buckets, but if your going to use a few for a backyard garden, I think you will survive. Just an opinion, I'm no scientist.

I get what you are saying. My fear stems from my brother. He died last year at the age of 38 from two kinds of cancer. His Drs said it said he had Two extremely rare cancers and no only that but they could not believe how aggressive they were and they said it was so rare in someone so young. These were drs from the Mayo clinic who are on cutting edge technology. He worked with chemicals all of his adult life and ate a lot of processed food.

I have always been on the organic side but now that is all we eat and practice in our home. Like I said I am in the minority and I get what you mean.
