Short version;

"Dr Martin Donaghy, medical director of Health Protection Scotland, said

quote

"Over the past five years we've had three confirmed cases of Legionella
longbeachae, plus two 'probable' and one 'possible'" ..
We've got no evidence it's anything to do with the compost "


They should be looking at those gardener's water storage arrangements,
rather than the compost, shirley?
