A local supplier of wheat straw has a reasonable price on his small
bales but mentioned that he used Harmony as a post-emergent herbicide
this spring. I use straw mulches with several of my hoophouse crops -
tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, melons and am wondering if I
should have any concern about residue from the spring application
affecting my crops. Normally, I wouldn't even be asking this question,
but after reading about the problems english gardeners have been having
with manure from animals which ate forages treating with aminopyralid.

figure I better that I better ask.
