Contaminated manure & compost - weedkiller destroys tomatoes, potatoes, beans etc

Hi JWK, I have been following this thread with interest.. I feel for your loss looking at all those beautiful looking plants & the tell tale poor beans..!!:(

:thumb: I do totally agree with your feelings of trying to raise awareness.. Seems to me allot of officialdom in this country want to shut their ears to it all....!!!:(

:thumb: Have you contacted gardeners world..???? Specifically Joe Swift as he is totally smitten by his allotment here is his blog addi....:thumb:

If you haven't contacted him I would.... Not my favourite person, but if he would take it up on your behalf, I am sure he could bring awareness on the TV...!!???

If enough of people contact him about it, then something may happen. Some have already mentioned it to him......... This is his reply so far

What do you think..????

 

Marley thanks for your concerns, its such a horrible thing to loose all your veg that I don't want it to happen to others.

My comment is already there at #6, all I can say right now is watch this space.

I'm actually feeling pretty chuffed that a small group of us have waged a campaign mainly via the internet and got a large international company to back down, we have obviously been helped by the large numbers of people who have contacted their MPs and/or the PSD. :thumb::thumb::thumb:

What's really annoying is that the Govt Agency responsible (PSD) has been asleep on watch, we fund these people via our taxes .... I'd better stop there I can feel a rant coming on about Defra, Pirbright Labs, foot and mouth, equitable life, etc, etc.

 

:D:thumb::thumb: Ok glad to see you are already in there....!! More like.... Devastating...!! I'd say... :(:(

:thumb::D I could join you in a rant about all those things too.......!!!! But.......:thumb: There aren't enough hrs in the day....!!!!!!!!:D:D

:thumb: Well we must watch wait & see......!!
