Interesting point of view - but about as practical as a jelly shovel. Wood mulch to what depth? I doubt there'd be enough waste wood in the whole of Japan, let alone the affected area.

What about the use of other plants/things with phytoremedial properties? ...sunflowers etc? :scratch:

Who on earth would think of asking a mushroom "expert" about how to clear up radioactive pollution ? :iconbiggrin:

You can imagine it read in a Claire Raynor or other agony aunt voice can't you Odsox.

Poplar trees too have phytoremedial properties apparently...
