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?
Nor my jalapeno peppers which is why they're in a pot that is unaffected by the sprinklers.
