DIY soil remediation kits for home gardeners

Business Idea Concept.
Heavy metal contamination poses a significant threat to agricultural productivity and public health, affecting many home gardens. The primary use case for DIY soil remediation kits lies in empowering home gardeners to effectively and affordably remove harmful heavy metals like lead and cadmium from their soil, ensuring a safe environment for growing produce without compromising nutrient levels.
These kits streamline the soil remediation process, utilizing a low-cost, energy-efficient system pioneered by Stanford researchers. By making this technology accessible, DIY kits enable gardeners to engage in sustainable practices, restoring soil health without generating secondary pollution. This fosters community resilience and addresses environmental concerns at a grassroots level.
