Long - term herbicide are poisoning the entire compost flow .
Lyn Brookes write :
We have discover the effects of aminopyralid in municipal compost in Ireland . These are the position where people take their garden waste to be compost and then you could corrupt the final result compost , which is a great estimate and a renewable resource . They depend on green goddess clippings for the process , which we now conceive are creditworthy for pollute this compost . A friend spread it round her garden and potted plants with it and the results are terrible , fern like foliage on tomatoes and legume , and it has even affected a hydrangea . commercial-grade grower who use manure and municipal compost could observe they lose all their crop . This has far reaching implications that we are starting to see . I believe that it is even get its elbow room into peat free grow mediums .
This is your unconstipated reminder not to trust anything that has get along in touch with Big Ag .
you may not trust manure , straw , hay , mushroom compost , municipal compost , bulk potting soil or bagged manure .
The vender of Black Kow bagged manure also have an idiotic canned reaction for people that spell with concerns about potential contamination . It include this ridiculous call :
There are more concerns today about herbicides spray on pasture getting inBlackKowand then damaging plants . The herbicides creating most concern are ( chloryralid or aminopyralids ) . These herbicides were mainly used on lawns on the west coast . So the residue have usually been find in yard waste composts . The residue from the herbicide will break up if it is aerobically compost over a period of sentence . We compost our ware for 10 to 12 weeks . Then the compost is cured for an extra 6 to 8 months .
What a surprise . A company that sells bullshit responds with the same . Lawn waste material on the West Coast did n’t obliterate my gardens back in 2012 .
This is the real story in a nutshell :
Hayfields all over Florida are spray with Aminopyralid and like toxins to control broadleaf mourning band such as spiny Chenopodium album and unwarranted blackberries .
This hay is then trade .
creature that exhaust this hay pass through the toxin in their manure .
That manure can then be compost for months and months without the toxin go bad down .
Whatever compost is made or garden is fertilizer with this manure will see the effect of the toxin . It is very hard to break down and hold up for as long as a few days .
If you compost Graon - polluted hay , it will also kill your garden . It will kill your garden as mulch , as well .
If there is sprayed hay – or manure from animal that have eaten the spray hay – get into to your compost program , you are in trouble .
This is toxic trash and should be illegal . Period . There is no skillful manner to manage this product . metre and time again it has damaged the gardens downriver from its use .
Grazon delenda est !
