If there is a problem with poisoning the ground, I dare say it would take a very long time for the effect to occur. Would say a protective layer tarpaulin or some such thing help reduce potential poisoning?
I had a quick chat with Chesh, and we'll be using the no-dig system again, so I guess every time we build it up for the new garden, we're putting in new compost and manure and everything, so perhaps it won't be a problem.

My folks have awesome soil at their place, when we grew sweet potatoes we often got tubers that you needed both hands to hold them.
