Hi all and happy Easter,
Haven't posted for a very long time but was without a lottie for most of that time. We took on a very overgrown plot at the end of last year which I generously mulched with old horse manure (apparently years old, some lumps were present but the whole heap was sort of sweet smelling - not fresh). I started some broad beans off in modules in my conservatory (later transferred to cold greenhouse) in February and then transplanted those out onto the plot around the 10 the of march, planting through 3-4 inches of manure into the topsoil beneath. In the month and a half since then they have done very little growing and are now showing what I believe are the symptoms of aminopyralid poisoning. Spare plants kept in modules as spares are growing normally despite being neglected. No sign of aphids on any plants so I'm doubtful that it is a virus. Please can I get a second opinion before I contact dow and the guy who supplied the manure?
Thanks, SP
