Vegetable garden liability

[Joe Martino]

Hey everyone,

This is my first question,

My family currently lives in Arvada, CO.  We bought in a location that I have wanted to live since I was a kid, so we settled down and built 10 x 20 vegetable garden, compost pile, and chickens. However, we live very close to a growing trendy old town area and the cash flow this house would offer is significant. We have thoughts of returning in  3 to 5 years after we buy two more houses which will be easier with the extra cash flow. 

My question:

Is the garden and compost pile a liability?  I know there is a maintenance issue with the renter not taking care of it; although, I would love to leave it as a option for them. With the compost pile particularly, is there a legal issue if they claimed they got sick from using it?  It there a clause I could add in the lease agreement, to not use chemicals, and that we are not responsible for whatever? 

Thanks in advance!
