I used to get gymnastic horse barn sweepings ( horse manure , urine - soaked sawdust ) from a riding school . It was like garden magic . But one year one of my six raised beds set about showing the signs . Tomato leaves were curled and the tomatoes cease growing on the vine . This was two months after plant . As near as I can tell , there might have been one contaminated Equus caballus lump in the bed . But all of the plants ’ root found it . None of the other beds , which received the same material , had a job .
I cleanse all of the filth out of the bottom to a depth of 18 in below ground level . Then I replaced it with a 50/50 premix of black dirt and composted food for thought waste . Everything was hunky-dory after that .
The riding schooltime proprietor was heartbroken , because they numerate on nurseryman taking the cloth . The city would not lease them spread out it on their own fields . And she would only buy hay from sellers who guaranteed no Grazon . But if a raw horse arrived at the school , which had grazed on a contaminated field of force , or on contaminated hay , the day before ? How can you control that ?
And that ’s really the kicker with Grazon .
There are so many potential corruption stage that all compost , hay , manure , purchase soil intermixture , etc . , must be considered suspect .
give thanks you , David ! It happened to us – our garden deflower by a freight of “ all instinctive garden surface soil ” that twist , stunted , and killed half our crops . Worse , I had added some around fruit Dubya – they got bend stunt leaves too . Wish I had done a test first …

I got hare to use their manure . They eat hay I get from Rural King or TS . Now I am terrorise to practice their manure because there are no warrant the hay was n’t sprayed . We are in the urban center , so notrustworthy farm near that distributes hay . I did quiz the manure this way to start but will have to continuously because of unlike batches of hay .
Bingo .
Every newfangled mess of hay … every batch of manure … all must be test . It ’s simply easier to avoid outside contaminants all told by closing the grommet on your own belongings . That may meangetting animals , compostinghumanure , growingyour own hay / straw , makingswamp body of water , plantingcover cropsand creating huge mickle ofcompost , but you simply can not intrust the Babylon system not to envenom you and your crops .
The full agrarian arrangement is corrupt , and its subversion is spill over into the backyard garden of skilful people who are seek to grow safe and healthy food for their families .
May God lend His sagaciousness and have mercy on His citizenry , deliver us from evil .
Be wise , press on , get a line to compost everything , and implore for truth to reign and the poisoners to stutter .
