Landshare

Thanks to glallotments for passing on the following info for us:

I'm sure you must be aware of the problems experienced by allotment holders last year due to the use of manure contaminated by a persitent herbicide called aminopyralid. Information has been collated about this problem at this link:
Contaminated Manure

Read full post for more information.

Again courtesy of glallotments:

The latest infomation re manure contamination can also be read here:
Latest information

I have also sent out a email for circulation by everyone I know that has been affected which can also be read at:
Alert information

Other landsharers may find useful it to circulate to other landsharers and allotment holders in your area. It is particularly important that gardeners be aware of the need for caution when obtaining manure in light of the fact that the government are now considering reinstating the licence that was temporarily suspended last year.

As this is a concern to many gardeners, I have started an e-petition which you can read and support at:

I am also posting updates as I get them on my blog at:

just in case you want to keep a watching brief.
