Not sure if this is the right place to post it but I've just discovered this news that could be relevant to any gardeners here who use farmyard manure: RHS: Weedkiller manure Herbicide Residue in Manure Killing Crops |

Ooh horrible - nothing worse than adding something trying to make t5hings better only to make things worse......
Does this worry anyone else in relation to eating animals that have had this in their system? Why can they not let animal eat broad leaved plants in grassland.... surely the variety provides extra vitamens and minerals? Oh what do I know...... |

That's incredible isn't it? Well, actually, I'll believe most anything now.
I used to get manure every year from a horse farmer but felt that the quality (of my crops, not the manure!) had declined a bit so gave up. I put it down to his collecting the manure into bags from a chemical/plastics factory but it may be something he sread on his fields? Or both? | | |
