Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["John Smith" <mikakigr@gmail.com>]

Sorry Greg that you didn't like my smart ale answer. I didn't mean to wind you up. Yes, perhaps other things could have been possible but for me it was Occam's Razor. I saw straight away which was the most obvious and thought it was a no-brainer. Grass and herbicide were a strong connection because people with lawns go to some crazy lengths to have that desired green sward. Salt would not logically enter compost from green grass (but again could not be entirely ruled out) and fertiliser burn for me would not be a contender because it could be washed out again unless something really strange had happened and someone had sabotaged the compost. Sorry but given the problem it was common sense.

really?  poisonous?  not salty?  or from fertilizer burn?

if discerning between the three or more possible industrial contaminants
and imbalances is 'common sense', you're much smarter than i am.
