Re: Aminopyralid contamination

I bought some ‘Country Natural Organic Stable Manure’ last year, and introduced it to my raised beds earlier this year. I started planting as usual, and all seemed fine at first.

Re: clay

Hiya O/H Morning Freddy, i'm afraid to say, the forum has got a little like that just lately. Hope you are keeping well? Very well thanks apart from some stress, I'm in the process of moving house. This means leaving behind my relatively large garden and taking on something a lot smaller. Naturally,...

Re: Is the problem back this year

Hi folks. Sorry to appear thick, but I just want to clarify something. I just popped up to my local farmer who has a small dairy herd. I was thinking about taking some manure off his hands. My first question was did he use herbicide on the pasture ground. He said he didn't, but he couldn't vouch fo...

Re: Strange?
