Question from Miemiemuis
I have been trying to grow a small organic garden in out city backyard. I used MiracleGro organic soil and rabbit manure for compost. The rabbits are fed a mixture of stuff including soy (?GMO) I’m watering with a regular hose and the outside water is unfiltered of course. My question is, what can I do to keep my produce as uncontaminated as possible? How much of the ‘bad’ water, chemicals from the hose etc. will end up on my produce. I’m hoping it will still be healthier than what I can buy in the store!

Well, it certainly will be better than non-organic produce you buy at the store. It won’t have pesticides and it will be fresher.
That said, produce will absorb the chemicals from the water used for irrigation and will absorb air pollution as well.
But every step you take in the right direction is worth doing.
