I was talking to someone yesterday and he said that his allotment

He said it was due to some dangerous "spores" being found in some
locally (Altrincham Cheshire) - but he had no details.

I've searched - but cannot find any reports of problems?

Anyone hazard a guess at what he is on about !! *(He does get confused
so there may be nothing in it)

Not sure if there are spores, but I had a weed free garden at my last
house, I then had a trailer of horse manure delivered one winter, and
was inundated with weeds for the next 5 years, presumably from seeds
amongst the horse dung.
