Pesticide residues in manure may cause damage to plants
I seem to recall a couple of people on here stating that they had problems with crop growth after the application of manure, so thought that this link might be of use to some of you.

It is from the Pesticides Safety Directorate which is part of the HSE, and relates to an investigation into crop damage caused by manures tainted with a herbicide called aminopyralid. It can affect plants which are particularly sensitive to the substance, including potatoes and tomatoes, peas and beans, carrots and lettuce, and related crops.

All I seem to hear is blah blah blah!
