The Advisory Committee on Pesticides is recommending that the hormone weed killer Aminopyralid which has had such devastating consequences for growing crops be reinstated again after it was banned at the beginning of 2008.

Any manure containing Aminopyralid residues will seriously stunt if not kill any crops it comes into contact with as so many allotment holders and gardeners have discovered to their cost. I've just signed this petition and would urge any of you who grow your own veg to sign it too. http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/aminopyralidban/
