Anyway a little intro. Our flat backs onto fields and our garden is L shaped in that it goes from our back door under our bedroom window and down in a straight line to the bottom fence. I have managed to set up two composters and was hoping to plant the bottom half with some veg mainly runner beans broad beans and some tomatoes. The problem I have is that when we moved in this bottom half had been used as a dumping ground for grass cuttings and rubbish and whilst some on it looked almost like compost heap (a large amount of shingle type stones had also been dumped there,which helped to break up the clay soil) I found that all the local cats seemed to be using it as a latrine. Now this has put me off wanting to eat anything grown there. Is there anyway I could have the soil tested for any nasties or does this mean we will never be able to plant anything. I have dug over the mound and flattened it and put grass seed down for now. We do appear to have rather a large number of cats due to us all being flat dwellers. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
... I have taken to removing poop when I find it, but I am not going to worry myself into an early grave... I would be extra carefull if the area was for root veg (or anything in contact with the soil) 
but it kept the cats off!
