Is it safe?
My daughter in law has turned over an old lawn which has had Evergreen 4 in
1 on it. Is it safe to plant/sow edible crops on the plot? -- Jim S |

A quick and dirty test for any soil is will mustard & cress grow on it without showing distortion of growth. If it grows OK then the weedkiller has largely become deactivated or passivated by the soil. Evergreen 4 in 1 doesn't contain anything too terrible. Something to kill broadleaf weeds and moss and a bit of superphosphate. https://www.lovethegarden.com/system...1%20015013.pdf There are some commercial farm weedkillers that are incredibly persistent and can be present in horse manure. There was an issue with it a couple of years back causing trouble on allotments. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
