Hi Heather, I wondered what was the upshot of your test for arsenic etc in soil, as we just built a tannelised trellis to grow passionfruit, boysenberrries etc on and were going to include a bed at the bottom where the tannelised posts go in. (No more!) But Do you think it is safe to have fruit touching if it is enclosed (ie black passionfruit)? - I am rethinking the boysenberries on it. How I wish we had painted the posts first to seal them off. In between them is about 1.6 m of rusty wire fencing so most of the fruit would be touching that...
