Contaminated Manure/compost

I apologise if this has already been posted elsewhere, You will be aware of the problems gardeners experienced last year re: use of manure that had been contaminated with aminopyralid - a particularly persistent herbicide. Although the chemical was temporarily withdrawn problems have also been experienced again this year.


If you are unaware and wish to read about the problem I have collated lots of information which can be accessed from links from this page of my website

government are currently considering an application to reinstate the licence and an epetition has been set up against this which can be accessed

You may wish to consider signing it.



In any event - to try and cut down on the number of people falling foul of the problem a group of us are trying to publicise the need to be cautious when obtaining manure. I hope you willhelp by spreading the word.
