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. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/jun/29/food.agriculture). I figure I better that I better ask.
