Lint and vegetables
A dryer vent is located right above my garden (didn’t realize it at the time). Will the lint from the dryer hurt my vegetables that are planted right beneath it? I noticed lint getting on my vegetable plants.

No worries, the lint will break down into the soil and as long as you wash your vegetables before eating you will be fine. The warmth may even speed up the ripening of heat-loving plants. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
