Composting

Clopyralid Contaminated Compost
Gardeners, greenhouse operators, and organic farmers have experienced crop failures on certain plants after using contaminated compost. The problem begins when common composting materials such as grass clippings and leaves have been treated with a herbicide named clopyralid. Check the web site above for extensive information on this issue.
