 Gardeners warned over manure poison Not sure if anyone on here has picked up on this item, I saw it surface over on KG Forum and it is now in the provincial press, as opposed to local or national, at Gardeners warned over manure poison - Yorkshire Post Reads like an organic gardeners nightmare.  Worries me a bit and I'm not organic.

 Oh pants. I've never thought to worry about the manure that goes on our plot. It's always been Horse manure not co, but still....

| Very sure of the source of the horse muck I put on, but a really interesting article. Thanks for the heads up Peter.

| As has been mentioned, could have far reaching consequences. Very worrying that this sort of thing can happen even with all the regulations in force.

| Gosh....I wonder if that's what happened to our manure???? DEFRA were no help at all when we contacted them before! Think we'd better get back in touch with them. |

| That's why I asked T-Lady if she'd used manure on her struggling toms. I hadn't read this article but was aware that things can travel 'through' a horse or cow and still be active in the manure.
