Dandelions covered my lawn this spring, so I called a company to have them treated. Unfortunately, they accidentally sprayed my organic garden. They used a herbicide containing three chemicals: 2,4-D, MCPP, and dicamba. Can I plant anything edible in my garden this year?

Several years in a row, I have planted small evergreen trees (3 feet tall) within 5 feet of the street. Each summer I replace them because they die. Is it possible they don't thrive because of salt damage from the deicing products used on the adjacent road? I live in Minnesota.

I chop my vegetable vines, leaves, peelings, etc., and leave them in the garden. I pull a little soil over them and till everything in by late fall. Is this an acceptable practice to use instead of a compost pile?
