It ’s part of the reason I bought my own oxen . you may learn more in my late telecasting :

“ Thank you for bringing awareness to this issue David . My garden was destroy by Grazon defile manure in 2017 … it still was n’t easily figuring out the movement at that time . Brobdingnagian learning experience . It is NOT worth take a chance on manure from a source you ’re not exceedingly familiar with . ”

“ give thanks you David for the important info . I retrieve a few days back my neighbor and I were talking garden and he cite Aminopyralids which I had never hear of . That was the twelvemonth all the people we knew who gardened lose their tomato crop . Makes me think . ”
Louise Jacobs write :
“ Happened to us about seven years ago , I was ready to trade everything and move . I will not grease one’s palms steer manure from the stores , and I do n’t even desire potting soil anymore . That Grazon is everywhere . We get it from composted horse manure at the local community fair ground . ”

“ I had a awesome strawberry mark seam . bring on long ton . I buy some hay from the feed memory board for my laying nest , and threw some into the favourite rabbits pen . I did n’t think anything about it . Mind you I was aware of AMINOPYRALIDS . Well I make up one’s mind to scoop up some rabbit manure and tossed it on my strawberries , the strawberry stunt and produce dry out fruit fundamentally . It pip me when I see what had fall out to my strawberry mark . The rabbit ate the hay and now I got AMINOPYRALIDS in my bottom . I ’m now try an experimentation . I tossed a ton of mustard seed in to see if I might salvage my strawberry mark . Both are growing together and the strawberry mark are flower . Still got to await and see if that purify the soil . Some of the mustard look yellowish at this time … ”

“ Had a friend who loved to do chaff Basle gardening , until one year everything died . He had gotten the Basel from the same acquaintance but did n’t know he had started spray his field . ”
( And that is why Straw Bale Gardening is often NOT a secure method acting , Joel Karsten ’s whine notwithstanding … )
There are a lot of stories of wrecked gardens out there . learn yourselves , folks .
