Just not enough publicity - on TV gardening shows they tell us to use manure but don't mention taking care!Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-18665935190801614822010-07-25T21:19:14.363+00:002010-07-25T21:19:14.363+00:00always good to have a re-cap on the problems...i d...always good to have a re-cap on the problems...i didn't realise it was still going on so I am very happy that my cousin supplies my manure from his pet pigs...it's a good arrangement and i know exactly what it will contain. I know that we still aren't having manure shipped to our allotment to buy as the owners are very wary after the devastation a few years ago.<br /><br />I think if something like this was offered to me free i would be even more wary.allotments4you.comhttp://www.allotments4you.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-13774112823543708732010-07-25T14:14:32.394+00:002010-07-25T14:14:32.394+00:00The herbicide contamination specially affectes tom...The herbicide contamination specially affectes tomatoes and potatoes casuing the leaves to distort not so much wilt.<br /><br />Once the herbicide is absorbed into the plant material to compost this material just carries the problem into the next year etc.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-57330267195529526212010-07-25T11:27:29.298+00:002010-07-25T11:27:29.298+00:00Now I begin to understand why bloggers had been su...Now I begin to understand why bloggers had been suggesting about pulling out and throwing away wilted tomato plants. So the bacteria that is causing the wilting will not get back to our small ecosystem. But we never know what business people do or do not do with their product of manure and compost.... ~bangchikBangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-26372895001997174662010-07-25T09:26:47.188+00:002010-07-25T09:26:47.188+00:00Some people who have had free manure though have r...Some people who have had free manure though have regretted it when their plants started to die.
