Applying weedkiller

[cheekycow1]

I have sprayed weedkiller my side of a 6ft fence, my neighbour is now complaining that I have killed some of his shrubs and bushes and that when the new planting season starts he will expect me to pay for the replacement of these.

I only use weedkiller a couple of times of the year and do not spray when there is any substantial wind.

Where do I stand on this.

Is this him, by any chance?

Can he prove it is your fault? Do you use weedkiller that goes in to the ground and kills the roots? If so, it could happen - there is nothing to say his roots aren't on your side, or your weedkiller hasn't leached through the ground to his side.

Tell him to prove it.
