KYLALUAZ I don't have a proven answer but I do see discussion on the web. It makes sense to me that if the containers are in the sun and have water that chemical leaching would occur. I read on the web that a good container would be food safe recycle 2. Those usually have a fork and knife on them. Not all recycle 2 are "food safe". They said you might be able to get them from a restaurant. I saw them on Amazon. Large buckets.
I came to the conclusion that the "safest" planter is just plant in the earth...I'm sure there is something not right about that too. Haha. Seriously I just want to avoid chemicals where I can. I read that terra cotta is very safe. It does dry out quicker but that seems like a nice alternative and they really last a long time. So, decisions decisions.
