Perhaps - but this time around I'd have thought that it'd have to be labelled as coming from a farm/stable where that broad leaf weedkiller was used? [or at least hope ]

I makes me doubly glad to have my chicken manure so I don't need to go down the farmyard manure route. Sadly, it's the people who DO care about what they are eating who grow their own, and they are the ones who have the heartbreak of watching their long-nurtured plants turn weird.

I am sure that it will be a problem again this year. The weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth usually starts in May and June, when the potatoes and beans start to show problems.

So presumably, these products (Banish has not been re-licenced) are still only available in a limited number of regions.

This might be comfort for those living outside those regions.

Unfortunately, people in these regions have transport.

I can't write my feelings on the topic or I'd have to ban myself.

Yes, that's all fine saying the limited area it's available in, but it'd not suprise me if the muck was carted about all over the country - not even in the slightest!

That's true. Why on earth would things go according to plan?
Some farmers were passionately motivated to campaign for the re-introduction of these weedkillers. Might not some of them, living outside the re-introduction zones, be motivated to "import" weedkiller from Devon or wherever, to their farms in Norfolk or Berkshire or wherever?

I suppose they would get into trouble for that, but judging from the recent past, farmers don't always understand the consequences of what they're doing.

How about going for a trek over some mountains, and pick up some sheep poo?

that does sound pleasant. Bet it's good stuff.

I did forage some Canada Goose poo earlier this year. It looks like small green dog poos.
Then Google told me about all these health risks from goose poo. - but i "poo-pooed" it bunged them in the garden.
