Sprayed my garden with weed killer!
0 stars for lack of care.
Wife told me someone was in the front yard. Went outside to see a tech spraying inches from my container garden. Had a tomato plant laying on it's side, as it needed a cage, and Kyle was spraying a few inches from the plant upwind from other plants in the garden.
I grew up on a farm and am familiar with spraying. Tech said it was okay if he was careful. Spraying inches away from a plant you want to keep, is not careful, especially if there is wind.
I asked the tech what he was spraying, and if he had documentation on the product. (so I could treat the overspray) He said he didn't know what he was spraying, other than herbicide, which I thought was weird.
Kyle also told me he knocked several times, which is not true as we were in the front of the house and would have heard a knock.
Called landlord, and they said they were having weeds sprayed at another rental that is vacant in the same community. Not sure if they were supposed to spray our property or not, but I recommend training techs to talk to clients before spraying, but more importantly learn what is a tomato, brussel sprout, or anything that looks like it is a plant that is wanted, and learn not to kill my garden. It's not too hard to figure this out. ??
