According to the passage, what is the relationship between pollution and raised garden beds?
To clean up polluted soil, gardeners can put it in raised beds and let the chemicals drain out the bottom.
Raised garden beds protect plants from pollution because they use specially treated water rather than soil.
Raised garden beds make it easy to avoid polluted soil because they must be placed far away from major roads.
To avoid soil that may have been harmed by pollution, gardeners can build raised beds and fill them with fresh soil.
