Contaminated Manure in the UK
http://www.patnsteph.net/weblog/?p=370Rebsie just did a post on this here. Before that it appeared on the Green Lane Allotments site. The issue seems to be a new hormone based weed killer called aminopyralid. While it’s not approved for use on food crops, it’s applied to pasture land used to graze cattle.

Scape Time
http://futurehousefarm.blogspot.com/2008/06/scape-time.htmllet them get too big—the conventional wisdom is that cutting scapes off will let the plant spend more energy on making a big, fat bulb of garlic—but we're lazy and they look cool.
