Possible Aminopyralid
I have read all the posts here concerning horse manure, and Aminopyralid. In March I tilled in, and made one raised bed amended with compost, and horse manure compost that I got from a very small local pony farm. All this was done (including planting most of my tomatoes in the bed) before I found tomatoville, which has certainly improved my knowledge on growing. Unfortunately, after about three weeks, I noticed the curling of new growth on my tomato plants, and noticed that my bells were not getting any taller. I am so disappointed and down about it all. I even gave my neighbor some leftover manure to dress her plants. If it is what I think it is, can you still eat fruit produced from one of these plants, and how long will my soil be contaminated?
