So about a week ago I noticed some brown patches appearing in in the grass adjacent to our back border. A daybor so later leaves on some of the shrubs and flowers in the border began yellowing.
Upon closer inspection it seems our lovely neighbours have sprayed industrial quantities of weedkiller all along the bottom of their fence where they have a large area of stone chippings as a sort of soakaway. Beause their garden is raised above ours this not only has the overspray come through the fence onto our border, but has run off into the border and drainage along our back fence. Everything within 1m of the fence line is dead or dying.
Is there any recourse here? I went round to politely ask what they'd used (I suspect Glyphosate) so I knew how long until I could replant. They could not have been less interested so Im wondering what, if any, recourse I have here and how long I should leave it until replanting?
Anyone had similar issues with overspray of weedkiller before?
Its frustrating since I've spent 4 years getting our garden into a reasonable state and its been undone in a weekend bybsheer ignorance.
