Wow.  When did Washington establish heavy metals limits on fertilizer?   In
1997 there was a huge expose in the Seattle PI/Times about the hazardous
waste industry in Washington selling all sorts of crap as fertilizer because
there were no restrictions.   I never did hear how it turned out, but
thousands of tons of very lethal stuff had made it to the markertplace.
