So I think there is little to gain from not doing it and at least some good gained from doing it.

There are opportunity costs. It costs time and maybe money for procuring the plant.

(Still haven't found the time to check the literature for the best plant to remove HM, but I remember about it.) I really can't yet estimate losses/gains in money units; perhapsit could be organized as a community event of promoting neighbouriness. Neighbourhood?

It seems to me like you are more interested in signaling concern about cleaning up heavy metals than actually cleaning them up. Do you agree with that assessment?

I am even more interested in free advice on statistics of soil science, given to an internet user, because I do happen to be a member of a NGO and so have to signal concern more often than I honestly feel it. (After a while concern dwindles, but annoyance grows.) I would not want to signal concern about yet another problem without due preparation in real life.
