Here in the UK we tried to get lots of publicity when it happened to us but there are still people unaware and still it is affecting people as just sits in stored manure for years only being broken down when it comes into contact with soil microbes. There were even cases here where shop bought compost was affected as some have green waste as an ingredient.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-34833423623456398312013-06-08T18:14:23.194-07:002013-06-08T18:14:23.194-07:00holy crap, I'm surprised no one has commented ...holy crap, I'm surprised no one has commented on this.

When domestic animals eat the grasses, herbicide residue concentrates in their manure. The manure gets sold or shared with growers, and the aminopyralid ends up in places it was never intended, like Henke's vegetable garden.Cash Advance Businesshttp://www.cashfund.com/business-cash-advance/index.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-44175435087553741722013-05-29T19:42:37.793-07:002013-05-29T19:42:37.793-07:00My sister by Sioux Falls, SD was telling me about ...My sister by Sioux Falls, SD was telling me about a gardener who had the same thing happen to her. I cannot remember the name of the chemical, but it sounds like the same results. I feel bad for whoever ate the yak. Wait?

There are also lots of photos showing the symptoms. Since them we have been very wary of using manure.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
