Reply To: Horse Manure

Thanks for all the information on this… I’m expecting a load of horse muck on Sunday, so have been mugging up! The name Dow’s aminopyralid goes by is Forefront T, suggested as the ideal way of ridding grassland of ragwort, which is ‘poisonous to horses’. Reading the Dow brochure, http://uk.dowagro.com/manuals/Ragwort-control-guide-Feb-14/files/assets/common/downloads/TP20048%20Ragwort%20v4GB.pdf, it says manure should be kept on the farm and used on grazing grasslands, but does NOT say should not be used for allotments or that it is noxious to most vegetables…so I’m guessing farmers just don’t realise – even if they have read the small print! So may be worth asking if they use Forefront T to control ragwort before taking delivery.
