It is my understanding, from a talk which Malcolm Beck gave at the Organic Gardening Show in Arlington last January, that it is possible to neutralize picloram if you get your compost hot enough and have it in there long enough. I have not tried this yet myself, but I plan to.
If you want me to test it out, I'll take the tainted plant from you, along with any of the other contaminated stuff. I really enjoy experimenting with things.
I'm in the middle of moving (I just got married) and preparing for a garage sale, but would have time to get it from you after May 6th.
