I have access to a large heap on a local field. Farmer says it's about 2yrs old but I wanted to test first for any nasties! Have been growing tomato seeds in a 50/50 manure and compost mix. Also in a 100% compost mix. As far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be any of the typical signs that one should look out for. What do you people think?

Looks ok so far - might be worth giving another two weeks of growth to allow a pair or two more leaves to come through (the advice when using bean plants as testers is 4 pairs of leaves).  If still no twisting or deformation then it looks fine and safe.

Thanks yorkie. Sounds like a good plan. I do recall reading somewhere that the signs can show in later growth. I'll give it another couple of weeks...
