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
storedhttp://bigthink.com/ideas/25574
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.

I've always hoped that the half lives of most contaminates are short.
All the talk of organic pesticides in non-organic terms I thought of as
malathion or seven breaks down in about 20 years. Mere pittance in time
compared to TEL or Strodium 90.

Anyway

Happy Solstice! Seems the eclipse and solstice occurs about every 500
years.
