My family owns 9 acres of land on the central coast of California. There are 8 different hoop houses that have been neglected since the previous owners were using them to grow flower decades ago. Everthing has gone wild with native plants everywhere but Iceplant has taken over everything in between. What’s the best way to eliminate it without ruining the soil?
I also have concerns over the soil being contaminated because we are about 3 miles away from the Vistra energy facility that recently caught fire. Any suggestions on how to remediate that as well? *Our immediate neighbor had surface samples taken and it was confirmed that there are extremely elevated levels of colbalt, manganese, nickel and to a lesser extent lithium. Wondering what I can plant to help extract these elements from the soil. If any. We may be completely f’d but I’m hopeful.
