Contamination of vegetables is common when they are grown directly in fresh animal manure or watered with Liquid manure. If the bunch of spinach is complete except for the roots don't throw it away just pick off all the leaves except the tiny green shoot in the middle. discard the leaves in the compost heap or garbage bin. Plant the remnant of the bunch in the vege garden it will survive, grow new roots and go on to produce many more leaves that are not contaminated. Only fertilise the surface with slow release complete fertilizer granules or if you must use fresh animal manures, dig the soil out creating a trench to a depth of 12" back fill with 6" of manure and replace the soil forming an 12" earthen blanket. The spinach roots will head down through the soil, find the manure and the bunch will thrive. The leaves will be insulated from the
E coli by the soil. Manure treated this way does not result in weed growth.
