Mary, 

You could always put in some raised beds and decent soil. The plants would be 
warmer and happier than in that Maine potato growing stuff. I've never heard of lead 
being a problem in Chiles. Most plants only take up the chemicals that they need for 
themselves and I kind of doubt that they need PB.
