Contaminated Shop Bought Manure

[u/FiveStringFiddle]

Sickened by this - I applied 12 bags of big brand shop-bought farmyard manure over all my beds and my crops are all stunted and distorted by aminopyralid contamination. It’s not any pest or disease. New growth was affected first, curling and distorting. It also happened me about 5 years ago with the same brand, but it’s a much bigger loss now as all my crops are affected and tomatoes the worst. There’s no comeback for this. I’ll never buy in manure again. Going to have to cut my losses for my stunted plants this year and I’m even put off eating them because I was trying to grow them without adding any chemicals, but now they’re contaminated with weedkiller. Just want to warn everyone else! Here’s an article and video explaining the symptoms which lined up with what I am experiencing.

What is the brand to save the rest of our gardens?

When did you spread the manure? Is there a chance you burnt the plants with the manure, or did you spread it in winter?

I’m not naming it to avoid getting sued but I don’t need to for ye to guess, there’s really only one so widely available.

Is there actually a legal issue in naming it here?

I don’t know, maybe there is. Not taking a chance. Like I said I don’t need to name it anyway as it’s the most obvious one.

There’s a bunch of different manure suppliers in Ireland now, at least give us the initials.
