Please read about the herbicide clopyralid compost contamination problem. Due to the persistance of this chemical, it is likely to be turning up in compost, regardless of the source. It could be in ANY material that came from an agricultural field sprayed with the contaminant. If it is mint fields, then certainly the mint compost could be affected. If the compost material came from wheat fields, it could be in animal bedding, animal manure, or animal grains. They are even finding it in leaf-only compost piles at the city of Portland leaf yards.
