"So you can safely use it to water the tomatoes and other crops that grow OUT of the soil. But crops that grow IN the soil (root vegetables and ground cover) would need to be cooked, peeled, or "thermally processed" before eating."

But the yard water sprinklers DO SPRAY UP ON THE SURFACE of the vegetables that grow in the yards.

So I don't see how crops that grow above the soil can safely be used as food without peeling or cooking.

Then tomatoes would not be SAFE?
