Title: WARNING
Post by: Andy H on July 08, 2008, 10:49:32
On southern counties radio it has been braodcast at about 10:15 this morning about manure contaminated with aminopyralid.

I think you can get the broadcast online and I will look later but just popped in from work. The radio (Gordon Astley) was talking to RHS gardens.

Many thanks Andy H but if you check out on Edible Plants-"Catastrphic Potato Problem" or Pests & Diseases-"Hormone Weedkiller in Manure" - you will see that this subject has already been brought to our attention. I'm off to see if I can hear the broadcast you mentioned on iplayer now though.
