*BLACK BOX WARNING* to new gardeners like myself!
With all the exhortations to "get growing" in the alt health and truth communities, it is easy to get started in haste, as I did, and end up committing a critical, expensive, time and effort killing error.
*PLEASE* be extraordinarily careful about your soil source, whatever amendments you add, and here is why: AMINOPYRALIDS
Did not intend to insert a "black cloud" into such a bright, hearted and helpful series of posts on gardening, one of my favorite topics - just wanted to help any other beginners, or even experienced gardeners who hadn't yet heard the precautionary word on aminopyralid contamination, to avoid what was a heartbreaking - and wallet breaking - difficult experience for me that almost killed my gardening aspirations straight out of the starting gate.

Having weaponized the air, food, water, soil is certainly also in the crosshairs of the psychopaths.
That aminopyralid "Grayzon" is wicked stuff! I had not encountered it until reading your link above.

Thank you for sharing the value of your very expensive investigation Dogsnose!
This is great info for a so far unsuccessful vegetable garden grower! Thank you all!
You are welcome, Barbara. I am really trying to be useful.
Nice read!

Thanks Dogsnose,
It's hard to completely know, but one might be able to know what happened on one's garden plot over the past 10-30 years.
