The killer compost Nightmare (and my solution)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лис 2022
- Aminopyralid or persistent broadleaf herbicide residue in contaminated manure or compost is becoming a really big issue for gardeners, and SOMEHOW I have managed to contaminate my new tunnel house. Thankfully I have an action plan on what you can do to fix contaminated garden soil at your place.

I am contaminated too! I was so proud of myself getting a trailer load of horse manure they were giving away on Facebook. All of my precious little seedlings I took so much time to start in the cold months of January February are now all now shriveling up. Everything that touches this stuff shrivels up and I'm just so sad!
😭
So sorry....mine did too
Are you doing anything to get rid of it
@MHines - I just figured out today this is happening to my plants!
Most of my 60 tomato plants I started from seed are curling!
I had no idea this could happen. I picked up a pickup truck load of free horse manure compost I found on Facebook too.
I’m devastated.
7:00 Begins the remedy portion of this video. This seems to be the only video so far that offers a somewhat easier solution than digging up the whole garden or putting it to rest for many years.
I carefully built a special garden and trellis for the sweet peas and then I added contaminated soil mix so my sweet peas are crap. This post is very timely.
Oh that is so frustrating!
If you want to bioaccumulate, the grass to use is Sorghum-Sudangrass. It's a hybrid that normally doesn't reseed, it can be sown, and it grows a huge mass. To get rid of the aminopyralids, cut it dry it and burn it. You should be able to grow it man high and cut it twice in a summer if it gets enough water and nitrogen. Plowing is recommended because aminopyralids break down in UV light. The problem with that is that it still takes months in the sunshine to break it down. You have to keep plowing over and over. And just so you know, aminopyralids are nontoxic to animals. That's the difficulty with it. It will go right through a horse or a cow or a person unaffected.
I've had it in my gardens twice. Luckily in the most recent poisoning, it was because someone boarded a horse with a gut full of it at the horse farm I get manure from. This farm does not spray for weeds and they buy hay that's untreated. The damage is in spots that I can dig out and burn. I find tobacco is most affected, followed closely by tomato and aubergine, peppers seem less affected and dinosaur kale not at all.
Thank you. Very helpful.
It was in the straw I bought. Its so annoying! You might have to put in a french drain to take care of the drainage issue. You can test the compost by planting tomato seeds into them. I've started doing that with all of my amendments.
ohh noooo!
we got rid of ddt (sorta), why are we still poisoning ourselves with other crap? Humanity drives me loopy
There is a lot of money to be made in selling industrial chemicals to consumers, so sad that they aren't held accountable for it
Profits, providing the right/wrong (depending on where you are on the equation) person with an incentive to keep their customers ignorant! If you don't know the truth, you don't know there's anything to fight for or against.
It's being driven by consumers. They vote with their pocketbooks and farmers have to comply to survive.
I am so sorry, this is terrifying when you look at the bigger picture, how many farms are now contaminated..
I wanted to do a Ruth Stout Method garden which requires hay as mulch. I couldn't do it due to the herbicides that are in NZ hay. It just killed everything. This is your first growing season at the new property, so you will probably run into issues as you learn the 'feel' of the new land. Every year it will get better and better. I am so looking forward to following your journey!
Oh James that is so frustrating! For a country with a 'clean green' image I can't believe they use those sprays so liberally.
@@FantailValleyHomestead It can't be good for the animals eating it, or for us either! Yesterday I was at a Food Forest talk locally and the lady there manages to get clean hay from a local source. So there is hope yet for when I am ready to start on our new property.
Thanks for sharing. Millions are unaware of this problem.
Sadly, I was unaware until today.
I just figured out this is what’s killing most of my 60 tomato plants.
All because I picked up some free horse manure i found from a Facebook Marketplace post and spread it on my beds.
So discouraging and disappointing.
Also I am so sorry this happened to you- pretty sure this is just what happen to all my tomatoes!!! And while I'm thankful to know why, --- I can see how the fish fertilizer plants was doing much better 😂
The crime is they kept it secret and just laughed at the people that put tons of money and love in their garden just to watch it turn to waste all the while wondering WTF
Fellow homesteaders Roots and Refuge, have had to overcome this same problem last year! In their high tunnel, no less. Argh!
yes, I have been following their journey with interest! I seem to be having some success treating the soil with humic and fulvic acid, some of the somewhat effected plants are now growing normal leaves which is exciting!
@@FantailValleyHomestead How much humic and fulvic acid did you use?
@@michellehayashi576 There are instructions here: www.dct.co.nz/revive I have powdered stuff so I worked out that is used 100g/1L to make the strength of concentrate they sell, then you dilute that to 10L. I hope that helps!
You could make your own humic acid for free. It is basically water run through some active compost which then contains all the micro-organisms needed to feed your plants. No need to buy this stuff. @@FantailValleyHomestead
10 years growing in my Polly tunnel and this year is my first herbicide poisoning
Im growing heirloom tomatoes 8 varieties and some are more affected than others
I worked out how i stupidly added leaves that were from a yard that had been sprayed with weedkiller
I never even thought about it but now i know so hoping the plants fight through it
They are looking amazing but developed thick stems and the top leaves went like pigtails or curly fries and the flowers were deformed
Ive removed the deformed flowers as they will be deformed fruit and im letting some suckers grow till the problem is visibly over and picking a new leader stem then i can cut the deformed affected leader back to where the new leader is established
I'm wondering now if i compost the leaves and everything else off the plant will the herbicide be in my compost?
Gypsum will help draw this out of your soil. Spread it thick and water it in real good.
With the zeolite- would you just sprinkle and water? ----
I’ve read that alfalfa isn’t sprayed with Grazon?
that would make sense because it would kill it. It is also very expensive to buy here unfortunately
You can accumulate by growing corn, burning it then uaing the ash as fertilizer
Does that kill off the weedkiller or would you be spreading it again in the form of ash?
Hi! I wanted to pop in to your recent video even though it’s not about Kunes… do you have any suggestions on why a female wouldn’t get pregnant while with a boar constantly?
The boar has been successful before, the problem is with our gilt. Thank you!
(And what are pregnancy signs in case I’m missing them?)
Hi there! How old is she? Is she over weight? Sometimes a month or two apart can cause the spark required to get them in the mood, but also their pregnancies are not very obvious until about a week before they pop, so she might already be?
@@FantailValleyHomestead she’s 16-17 months now. Not overweight.
We can try separating them for a bit. Yeah I’ve been wondering about signs of pregnancy. Pigs are harder to tell than goats!
