In today's 2 minute garden tip, I share a simple test that ensures straw, hay and compost is herbicide free! Straw, hay and compost make fantastic mulches and amendments for vegetable gardens and fruit trees, but herbicide contamination can be a concern. Learn how to test for herbicide contamination quickly and easily.

This video focuses on two common herbicide active ingredients: Glyphosate (Roundup) and Aminopyralid (Grazon). It's possible straw, hay and compost is contaminated by these common herbicides. Both herbicides are addressed in this video.
