We have a small vegetable plot to the side of our garden where we grew potatoes, courgettes and lettuce last year.
We wanted to expand it by 3 meters this year but just realised that the old oil tank used to stand on that area. I think it leaked a bit and certainly when it was being removed there were leakages. It was taken away about 2 years ago (maybe just 18 mths).
Does that mean we shouldn't cultivate there? Were hoping to do potatoes there? There's no visible residue but I wonder what it would have done to the area long term as the tank would have been there decades.
