Need help/advice with contaminated soil

10 years ago

In late June, after planting several rows of carrots weeks before, I was wondering why they weren't growing. After digging around (literally speaking) I found the mother lode of poop that our cat had left for us. After resisting the urge to pack him up and trade him in for a dog (he's my mom's cat after all), I cleaned it up and removed the soil and put wooden skewers around the spot to deter him. I didn't plant anything in "ground zero" for the whole summer.

Now I'm getting ready to plant fall veggies and I'm unsure if I can plant there without poisoning the family with hook worms, round worms, etc. Does anyone know how long I should wait before planting in that spot again? And any tips on how to make that soil healthy again will be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
