Point of interest for anyone thinking of digging farmyard manure into their plot. It seems manure contaminated with aminopyralid (weedkiller) is still putting in an appearance.

Re: Heads up on contaminated farmyard manure
Yep two of the local vegetable growers with a large patch of ground got hit earlier in the year. This one could run as it takes some years to work itself out of the manure (think 4 years for the manure to rot down).
Right pain.
