Is my soil ruined?


Someone poured gasoline into the soil in our raised garden bed last August. Is this soil ruined for good? Or may it be good to use by now. Prior it was very good gardening soil, the area has been un used since.

Are there good shrubs that do well with both sun and shade for my zone (close by I deliberately planted a dogwood that does well in both sun and the shade of oaks in particular).
