RE: [GreenYes] Clopyralid and Compost (Dow ArgoSciences)

[Gary Liss <gary@garyliss.com>]

Chris,

There is a raging debate about Clopyralid on the Composting Council 
listserve.  Composters are finding some of their compost is contaminated by 
Clopyralid and some have called for bans.  This was Dow's response.

As composting is a critical part of achieving Zero Waste, I believe it 
would be helpful to keep Dow's response together with other composter 
concerns in the GRRN archive.
