Thank you for all of your replies. The peas were just for shoots and yes they are in the well rotted horse manure. I only covered with fleece to protect from pigeons.
Charles that doesnt sound good. If there is herbicide in the manure that would signal a swift end to my efforts. There is no way I will undertake to remove 8 tons. Would the herbicide be present in hay or grass fed to horses?
Would the herbicide affect plants, only I now have another 8 tons to spread across my flower beds. If I could prove there is herbicide present I could get the supplier to remove it.
If there is herbicide present presumably it wont be advisable to eat anything grown in it?
Do you know where I could get a sample tested? Maybe Ministry of Agriculture?
I have a few spuds which have just emerged which I have now covered. I didnt notice that the leaves were curling.
I have also lost 5 out of 10 Red Cabbage which just withered away.
A better photo of lettuce attached.
