We used these in our apartment block's gadren too: http://pacific-edge.info/an-edible-garden-for-eastern-suburbs-apartment-dwellers/ I don't know what would leak from the boxes, if anything, that you use. There are plenty of gardening containers made from plastic. The black plastic boards used to make the garden are stabilised, so there should be no leachates.

Your garden looks amazing. Good on you. I have just made a vege patch at my place in the Northern Beaches but having planted it all in recycled black plastic boxes from Bunnings I suddenly got worried about the plastic. I notice you have black recycled plastic around your garden too. Should I be worried. I really don't want to start from scratch - it was heavy work with four year old proudly helping - but I don't want to fill the family with toxins either. Any information would be gratefully received!!! Hi. Your garden looks amazing. Good on you.
