Re: round-up pro

So you need to make sure you have organic manure even! Good grief. I never would have thought of that.

Betsy,

The Glyphosate warning for tomatoes was out at least 9 years ago, maybe
longer (I'm figuring out how long it's been since I worked for the local
Extension Service before I went to work at the state level.)

The Seattle compost problem was because of an herbicide used on lawns and
fields -  Clopyralid. It can persist for years.

Picloram is a problem in manure from cattle or horses that have eaten feed from pastures or fields treated with Picloram, too. We first found out about that doozy in the mid-90's.

WE carry Hi Yield Super Killzall(41%)  in the garden center. FOr some
reason, I started reading its label having once been under the assumption that Roundup was gone in the soil after 7-10days. This products label had 
a
specific note saying no tomato seed for three days and no plants for 30
days. Perhaps this came about with the tomato deaths after using Seattle
compost tainted with herbicides.
