u:


Only if you don't weed often enough :-))



True enough, you can buy strilised topsoil and in a week or so there come
the weeds through the damn stuff, and out comes the hoe as always.


At retail outlets you can see bags of sterilized topsoil stored
outdoors, sprouting weeds.


:-))) Would you trust any 'soil' that didn't sprout something
or other when given half a chance.?


It amuses me that weed seeds make it through the sterilization process,
muscle their way throught the holes in the bags and continue to grow
along quite happily throughout the season.

With that said, I don't trust any soil that wasn't made right here.

I have no trust for anything but organic manure produced on organic
farms. -- The Aminopyralid issue has not gone away and I'm unwilling to
risk contaminating our organic garden with it.
