Landowner stated various species of plants growing in the garden were displaying clear signs of herbicide damage. Seeing color change and visible twisting of leaves and stems. The landowner collected soil and hay samples from affected and unaffected areas. DAS Canada had the samples analyzed at an accredited 3rd party laboratory (ALS Labs in (city)). The analysis revealed no detectable levels of picloram in either the soil or hay samples from the affected and unaffected areas. The soil analysis indicated generally lower fertility for the affected samples compared to the unaffected samples, which was likely the cause of the symptoms seen.
Other
Old hay was used throughout the garden & also for bedding for chickens
