Gardeners are trying biochar, turning the soil like compost, growing corn, digging the soil out, charcoa! so many things trying to heal their gardens. I'm hoping this works for you.
This makes me so sad and so angry. I don’t understand how this product is even legal, considering the wide impact. I hope your experiment works well, I’ll be keeping an eye out for updates. Best of luck.
Is there an update on whether it worked? Did the peas make it? I know this is old but im dealing with the same issue 😢.. Some of the most beautiful tomatoes I've ever grown... Waisted because I used some of my cows manure after feeding them hay from an outside grower. Please let me know which video to watch for an update 🙏
Thank you for sharing this information! I will be following your updates and hoping this invasion of the corporate killing fields will be removed for good!
Anything that persistent in the environment should only be licensed to utility companies and the like to prevent vines causing infrastructure damage. The EPA seems to be too busy trying to get your gas stove to actually have time for the environment though.
Sorry you lost your crop. But thanks to you sharing all of your experience with this horrible pesticide, I didn’t go get the hay I had found for my garden.
Thank you for helping me to see soil remediation as an experiment, which makes the contaminstion less distressing. I commented on your dow video then watched this one which is also helpful. I was very sad to see cinderblocks lining your beds. Please look up cement leachate. Best wishes for healthy soil.
Corn to the rescue! I’m a corn fed Ohio gal, and although I hate the way they have genetically manipulated our corn, I still love the fields and fields of the stuff. It’s beautiful, and now it’s rescuing your soil. #teamcorn 🌽 😁
Yea I’m pretty much using the same system, I’m planting beans where I wanna “ test “ for contamination and so far it’s working only in certain spots “ thankfully “ I see leaves curling up but I wasn’t removing I was just chopping and dropping ... whoops 😬 , thanks for the great info man god bless
Did you see the news about all the cereal that was contaminated with weed killer? I take it the the farmers have gone crazy with this stuff. Looking forward seeing how those beans tell us the story soon. Thanks for the update! Good luck!
I used WeedBGone hose-end sprayer on my lawn and oversprayed my garden bed in the process. I didnt know I was contaminating the soil. Last season was 3 years since I had sprayed and the tomato plants still grew the knarly looking leaves. I plant some there every year to check. My plants used to be very huge and lush before. I noticed that cherry tomatoes arent affected as much. Also the cucumbers and onions didnt mind either, just the big tomato plants. Onions are monos so there ya go :) This year I think Im gonna just put a raised bed with new soil over top of that ground. Hopefully your herbicide wont last as long since yours is just residual where I directly sprayed the stuff.
Hi Zeke, yes it worked out just fine, I don't remember which video showed the conclusion, I think it was a Gardening Q&A. I grew a healthy fall root crop garden in that spot and this spring's garden as well with no signs of herbicide damage.
@@ScottHead oh thank goodness!!! I just planted the first of our corn starts for the same reason. Fingers crossed it takes up the herbicide. Thanks for your reply, and happy growing!
Love seeing Sam helping you. 😁 Thumb up to help the channel. Thumbs down for what happened. I'm afraid to use this bail of wheat straw I have to place under my watermelon vines, even though I won't put it near the root mound. 😱
@@ScottHead thank you. I may have contaminated my first ever raised beds that i built this spring and built my own soil with native clay and organic amendments. I used a lot of straw w/ rabbit manure I received for free and have been stressing all week after learning about this issue. I'm currently doing a test with some legumes then using compost tea from the left over straw. Hopefully it's not tainted but at least I know there is a fix.
Crossing my fingers that this works. I was so upset to see all those plant and food have to be thrown out because we can get away from herbicides. Good luck.
Wow, this is great information and informative. Who would've thought hay around veggies would or could hurt anything. Hope your plan works. Sounds good. New sub back to ya.
I read some where that corn is supposed to be good at controlling soil diseases. Not sure if its true though, not everything on the internet is true, but i figured after my gardens done i would try it. I have a problem with beans getting that rust disease to em.
Thanks for sharing this process with us. I really hope it works. Theoretically it seems like a sound idea. You’ve definitely done your research! Charles Dowding just posted a video dealing with this issue in the UK as well. Crazy how far spread this is.
@@ScottHeadare you familiar with Korean natural farming? If so, do you think adding lactic acid bacteria would help remediate it? Or would composting help remediate it since it’s large amounts of bacteria essentially eating through the soil.
No, testing for aminopyralid herbicide is out of my price range. Besides, it was fairly simple to place all the evidence and events together, along with the perculiar growth habit of infected plants, and come to the conclusion. If it had been drift from a neighbor, my potted tomatoes would have shown the same contamination, but they are fine, while the in-ground plants right beside them (touching them, actually) were contaminated immediately after we imported the hay into the beds.
The corn worked, the bed was back in production that winter. I have discussions about the results in some of my Q&As but its been so long I don't remember which ones.
It’s a year later. How’s it looking? I poisoned my garden with hay also, and it rained and I watered deeply before I noticed the gnarly leaves on my precious tomatoes!! Took me a whole day researching trying to find out what is happening. I am absolutely devastated.
Scott, please let me know if later in the season if you start seeing damage pop up on new growth. Trying to decide if I should dig out the worst affected bed or try corn. :( I appreciate your positive attitude on it, it’s helping me remain positive as well. And I am educating fellow gardeners around me. Thank you!
@@GardeningGroomer just happened to us, just moved onto our new property, first time really delving into higher volume homesteading and dontcha know, now I’m here researching this… Already have a bunch of corn growing, thinking I’ll remove some of the bulk manure/compost and then plant corn through the rest and start doing little bean tests. What a world, amazing how many videos in here I found on “how to spray Grazon” and how few there are on the actual effects of such an irresponsible product 🤨🤨🤨
Does anyone know if this will affect strawberry plants? I bought some beautiful potted strawberry plants and it might not be too late to take them out of our contaminated garden.
niochar wood chip mix should work if you use saw dust instead of wood chips it should only take 6 months to break down grow dsome fungus on it like oyster mushrrooms it might help breakbit down quicker if you use a small amount of coffee grounds it can help the mushrroomms start growing
I've just noticed the name 'Fauci' at 0:55 (under 'Resources) Couldn't help wondering if there is a connection To Anthony Fauci of the " There was no gain of function at the Wuhan lab" fame.
I wish you well in your attempt to cleanse that bed. As Lorann Harris below mentioned, biochar may be a remedy to try if this does not work out... Think about charcoal cleanses people do. I assume this herbicide is water soluble? You also could try, later in the season, a light burn...small twigs and sticks and use rubbing alcohol for ignition. All that it could do is leave a light ash for fertilizer... just some out of the box thoughts.
Biochar is a potential next step if the beans show contamination,. I am saving some wood and limbs in case I need to make some. Otherwise its a difficult thing to make biochar in a neighborhood setting, especially when its a zillion degrees outside, lol. But yes, its in the toolbox. Good idea for sure!
Hi neighbor. Water every day, fertilize regularly. If you go back and watch my videos from this year, there are tons of tips and methods for growing in our area.
heating and cooking the soil seems the most viable option --- biochar and activated carbon are effective but costly --- but the cost is cheap considering at this time it is the only option available to save your gardens and fields ---plus how far down must you dig --- you are forewarrning others and bringing it to the public's eye --- another monsanto roundup fiasco --- who knows how much damage it will deliver since it does not disentegrate ---
Thank you for covering this. It's a critical issue and gets little coverage.
Would appreciate it if you would out these experiments into a playlist. Thanks for your work.
Gardeners are trying biochar, turning the soil like compost, growing corn, digging the soil out, charcoa! so many things trying to heal their gardens. I'm hoping this works for you.
Sorry for your lost crop, but thank you for keeping me from almost making a similar mistake.
You are doing a great job of documenting your journey so others can learn from it.
Darn. Just happened to me. Where's the followup video?
This makes me so sad and so angry. I don’t understand how this product is even legal, considering the wide impact. I hope your experiment works well, I’ll be keeping an eye out for updates. Best of luck.
I heard mustard greens in the fall also helps 🤷🏻♀️
Good luck with the experiment !!
Hope the Corn took most of the herbicide already out of the soil !!
Me too!
Is there an update on whether it worked? Did the peas make it? I know this is old but im dealing with the same issue 😢.. Some of the most beautiful tomatoes I've ever grown... Waisted because I used some of my cows manure after feeding them hay from an outside grower. Please let me know which video to watch for an update 🙏
Appreciate you keeping us updated and sharing the knowledge so we can’t avoid this herbicide.

Boy you're working hard there. Sweat just rolling off :)
Thanks for sharing the link on your page watching now
Its HOT!
You poor thing, it must be so hot there! Hoping this experiment goes well! Your son is a cutie!
Can’t wait to see how things progress!!
Sorry you lost your crop. But thanks to you sharing all of your experience with this horrible pesticide, I didn’t go get the hay I had found for my garden.
So, the fruit of contaminated plants can not be eaten, but cows and whatnot are ok for us to eat. What a sham!

My mistake Scott. The name 'Fauci' is seen under Resources at 0:55
Ahh yes, I saw it there. Not sure if it is the infamous Fauci of our times. Hmm...
Corn to the rescue! I’m a corn fed Ohio gal, and although I hate the way they have genetically manipulated our corn, I still love the fields and fields of the stuff. It’s beautiful, and now it’s rescuing your soil.
#teamcorn 🌽 😁
So if you use this to clean out the geazon you can't eat the corn then right?
Yea I’m pretty much using the same system, I’m planting beans where I wanna “ test “ for contamination and so far it’s working only in certain spots “ thankfully “ I see leaves curling up but I wasn’t removing I was just chopping and dropping ... whoops 😬 , thanks for the great info man god bless

stay cool
Did you see the news about all the cereal that was contaminated with weed killer? I take it the the farmers have gone crazy with this stuff. Looking forward seeing how those beans tell us the story soon. Thanks for the update! Good luck!
Didn't see that article but heard something about a big recall. Was that cereal?
Is there a follow up video ?
I used WeedBGone hose-end sprayer on my lawn and oversprayed my garden bed in the process. I didnt know I was contaminating the soil. Last season was 3 years since I had sprayed and the tomato plants still grew the knarly looking leaves. I plant some there every year to check. My plants used to be very huge and lush before.

Hopefully your herbicide wont last as long since yours is just residual where I directly sprayed the stuff.
Sorry to hear that about your experience with the contamination. Hope the raised bed gets you back into some healthy plants!
Can it travel upwards into the new bed you lay on top?
i've looked and looked for the follow-up! How did this work for you? Great channel btw!
Worked just fine, seemed to be no herbicide left after the corn.
I just ordered biochar. I suspect that the raised bed soil I ordered is contaminated.
Did it remediate your garden soil. How did the beans come out?
Corn took up the Grazon, beans did just fine. I've been growing for a few years now with no signs of herbicide.
Did you try tomatoes in the soil?
How did it work? I looked for an update but i didn't see one. Thanks :)
Hi Zeke, yes it worked out just fine, I don't remember which video showed the conclusion, I think it was a Gardening Q&A. I grew a healthy fall root crop garden in that spot and this spring's garden as well with no signs of herbicide damage.
Awesome man I am happy to hear it! Thanks for the response :) I will look back and see if I can find it :)
How did the corn work out?
It took up the herbicide and we have been growing in that bed ever since.
@@ScottHead oh thank goodness!!! I just planted the first of our corn starts for the same reason. Fingers crossed it takes up the herbicide.
Thanks for your reply, and happy growing!
Love seeing Sam helping you. 😁
Thumb up to help the channel.
Thumbs down for what happened.
I'm afraid to use this bail of wheat straw I have to place under my watermelon vines, even though I won't put it near the root mound.
😱
Got my fingers crossed...
Did the corn work?
Yes, wonderfully.
@@ScottHead thank you. I may have contaminated my first ever raised beds that i built this spring and built my own soil with native clay and organic amendments.

Where is your hat? It's HOT as heck outside!! Lol. GOOD luck!!🌽🍆🍅🍏🍐

I'm not sure about it controlling diseases but it does help remediate some forms of herbicide contamination. I used that method with some success.
Thanks for sharing this process with us. I really hope it works. Theoretically it seems like a sound idea. You’ve definitely done your research! Charles Dowding just posted a video dealing with this issue in the UK as well. Crazy how far spread this is.
Did you get this fixed? I’ve ruined a garden with manure from a farmer friend. Looking to remediate it somehow and wondering if you had any success.
Yes the corn took up the aminopyralid and I've had many good season since.
@@ScottHeadare you familiar with Korean natural farming? If so, do you think adding lactic acid bacteria would help remediate it? Or would composting help remediate it since it’s large amounts of bacteria essentially eating through the soil.
@@ScottHead How long did the corn take to clean up the area, and how dense did you plant them? Thank you in advance for your time.
did you ever get your hay or soil tested to be sure that was the cause? Sometimes its just herbacide drift from a neighbor
No, testing for aminopyralid herbicide is out of my price range. Besides, it was fairly simple to place all the evidence and events together, along with the perculiar growth habit of infected plants, and come to the conclusion. If it had been drift from a neighbor, my potted tomatoes would have shown the same contamination, but they are fine, while the in-ground plants right beside them (touching them, actually) were contaminated immediately after we imported the hay into the beds.
@@ScottHead thanks, curious to see how the beans turn out. Maybe very little got into the soil and it was just physical contact from the hay.
Scott, I don't see a followup video to this one. What happened? Thanks
The corn worked, the bed was back in production that winter. I have discussions about the results in some of my Q&As but its been so long I don't remember which ones.
It’s a year later. How’s it looking? I poisoned my garden with hay also, and it rained and I watered deeply before I noticed the gnarly leaves on my precious tomatoes!! Took me a whole day researching trying to find out what is happening. I am absolutely devastated.
Everything is good now. Corn took it up.
Thank you. I’m going to see if I can find corn... hard to say with all the panic buying.

@@GardeningGroomer same thing here.

It will to some degree.
My garden is poisoned. I'm looking for the next video so I can find out what happened next.
The corn took it up and I tossed the corn. I grew an awesome fall garden there. There is hope.
I am thinking alfalfa pellets may contain persistent aminopyralid does anyone know if this is true
How toxic would it be if you were to eat the Crop
I'm not sure but don't care to try.
👋😊
How did your remediation experiment go?
Worked out perfectly. Been gardening for many years in this soil now.
niochar wood chip mix should work if you use saw dust instead of wood chips it should only take 6 months to break down grow dsome fungus on it like oyster mushrrooms it might help breakbit down quicker if you use a small amount of coffee grounds it can help the mushrroomms start growing

Has anyone had success with GARLIC in pyralid contaminated soil???
Vinegar is a great herbicide
I live in friendswood and I'm growing herbs and vegetables. Any advice for growing in this southern heat?
