weird growth on tomatoes and potatoes etc.
CONTAMINATED MANURE
A friend has a superb garden in Wendover which had a visit by my Garden Club last week. In touring the garden we were asked if we knew what was wrong with Sarah's tomatoes in her greenhouse. All the ends of the leaves were curled and stunted in a really weird way. Growth was sparse although the crops were all fruiting, if not actually burgeoning with tomatoes. One of our members remarked that they had the same problem on their allotment and so did another gardener, also affecting potatoes. Since then we have had discussions with the RHS and also been pointed to a link on the web http://www.glallotments.btik.com/p_C...ed_Manure.ikml it seems that there is serious concern and serious damage this year from crops being mulched with certain types of manure. From animals fed on grassland that has had hormone type wed killers applied. I do have the RHS answer on two .doc files, (2 pages of a4 if anyone is interested in the actual details.) The effect is really serious and i don't know what other crops will be affected nor if it will affect other gardeners so do beware!!
