I have a vegetable garden in Midwestern Northern Illinois. It is organic, has raised beds, and I am using double digging techniques (actually bastard trenching), along with French Intensive concepts. I broke ground in December of 2009, and I hope that if you are a beginning or struggling gardener that this blog will be an encouragement to you.
Thanks very much for spreading the word. I obtained some horse manure from what I thought was a safe source. However, since I applied last summer, my potatoes turned brown, my peas turned yellow brown and my tomatoes look like they have fingers on the end of leaves and produce no tomatoes. I called the local extension agent and he said he gets hundreds of calls from people who have herbicide damage. Let your legislators know that you want these herbicides banned!
Dennis It is sickening. Last year was my 2nd year of contamination, and it was still evident. Basically any manure or hay and straw is suspect if you don't know the source and chemicals used on the properties.

ReplyDeleteDo these plants need to be culled, or will they eventually die???
ReplyDeletecan these plants (tomatoes, potatoes)be saved? If any survive, can the produce be safely consumed?
