In my area there was a big problem a few years ago with a large composting project. They collected manure from surrounding horse farms as well as scraps from restaurants. Then they sold it as “all natural” compost. Unfortunately, the grain fed to the horses (or what was made into the grain) was treated with one of these chemicals and remained in the compost. It killed hundreds of peoples gardens.
It was eventually blamed on the beet pulp from sugar beets that is added to grain. It is amazing to me the number of times that stuff was “processed” from the time it was sprayed & still there was enough to poison people’s soil! How in the world do we get it out of our food once it has been used on a crop?
