Backyard hens’ eggs contain 40 times more lead on average than shop eggs | Ars Technica
Our newly published research found backyard hens’ eggs contain, on average, more than 40 times the lead levels of commercially produced eggs. Almost one in two hens in our Sydney study had significant lead levels in their blood. Similarly, about half the eggs analyzed contained lead at levels that may pose a health concern for consumers.
This is probelmatic in all cities. Not only in Australia I would say.

The Spruce!
My wife bought it 4 or 5 years ago as a Christmas tree for the table. Afterwards we forgot about it for some time and eventually put it on the balcony. After a while she wanted to throw it out, but I hate killing trees (I have no problem killing flies, flounders and rabbits) so she decided on a new plan. Disruptive transplanting on someone else's property... But then I cut it back a bit and it started to sprout these light green branches, and she found that so touching that it now has become part of the family, living a sort of bonsai life on the balcony.
Our small Wyzard Tower garden has been producing enormous amounts of tomatoes. The principle I have enforced has been to let the plants grow wild with no pruning down to increase harvest. I like things to just go wild. It has sometimes gone a bit too wild, so some of those new gentrification pest neighbours are worried that their children would die due to falling tomatoes. Killer tomatoes.
My wife have this year tried beef tomatoes that in this cold climate, where all fruits and vegetables get intense aromas in a trade off with less crop, have tasted almost melon like. Our youngest daughter didn't fancy them, probably because they were to large, luscious, colourful and alien shaped. So we have had tomato salads every evening, and I have been eating rye bread with mayonnaise and tomatoes for lunch for quite some time. Now the chillies are soon ready for harvest and the tomatoes are over. As you can see on the last picture, we are ready for winter now, with the thyme, rosemary and the survivor pine tree as the only residents on the balcony. The rest of the spices have moved inside - (actually they are right now on display in some plastic recycling design project my wife has on exhibition right now - they will return shortly she has promised).
Next year we will return to the less frivolous sort of tomatoes and have many, many more chillies!
