My spuds show similar browning of the leaves but I don't think I should be worried just yet:

The tomato damage definately looks like aminopyralid I'm afraid. We've had several cases of it on our site in the last few years, several through a local manure supplier , another through bought  in bags again from a local agent, but nothing nationally produced.
There are certain crops which show damage, toms, pots, broad beans.
I would put the remaining manure round fruit bushes excluding raspberries which are fickle creatures.
The manure seems to be alright if left for another year.

Thanks pink aubergine. I kind of suspected it was aminopyralid from the start - just because it looked exactly like the pictures I googled. I'll find out for sure in a couple of days.
Hmm. I'm hoping it's just the top soil manure that was affected now rather than the manure on all of my 6 raised beds :-( I'm growing some beans in both the top soil I potted up my toms with and the manure/soil I have on my beds. Fingers crossed just the top soil one goes weird  :unsure:

Weedkiller damage, it was, according to an RHS test.
Good to know  :)
Thanks for all the info and ideas along the way!
