Is it okay to plant a vegetable garden right beside a cemetery?
We live right beside a small cemetery. My dad wants to plant a vegetable garden just a few feet from this. Everyone says that because the bodies were sealed in vaults and buried several feet deep, that there is no harm in doing this. I am still unsure of the idea. Would it be hazardous to plant a garden so close?

It shouldnt be harmful at all. Its not like you live next to a toxic waste dump.
sure ….plants don’t care where they get their nutrients from
Most caskets are buried 6ft
In the veggie garden The longest root I know is a habanero pepper might grow 4 ft
It would be fine because your not planting IN the cemetary….so I’m sure you are a few dozen feet away from bodies to begin with…besides if anything bodies would help plants grow better and have better soil even if not in vaults.
Yes it will be fine. First the graves are 6 foot deep or more. The second thing is that your plants would not have roots that grow that deep and if you put it a few feet from the cemetery the roots will not spread far enough to reach it. The 3rd thing is that the caskets are sealed. I grew a garden 8 feet from the edge of a cemetery.
Absolutely. But be sure to plant garlic all around the border. (Just in case.)
