Just discovered the neighbor's gardener apparently sprayed poison all along their side of the fence... everything is dead for ~25cm. On the other side of that fence, slightly downhill, is our mint, rosemary (which has been mysteriously tasting bitter 😕), fennel, broad beans... and our nectarine tree, which has just started dropping lots of nowhere-near-ripe fruit.

I don't think i have any rights to stop them, either.

It's... taking me a while to calm down

@rose_myrtle "The third guideline I follow is NO WEEDING, either by cultivation or by herbicides. Weeds play an important part in building soil fertility and in balancing the biological community . . . so I make it a practice to control—rather than eliminate—the weeds in my fields. Straw mulch, a ground cover of white clover interplanted with the crops, and temporary flooding all provide effective weed control in my fields."

@js290 Thankyou for sharing that - what a lovely article. Reading about his philosphy restored a little of my faith in people. 💕

@rose_myrtle not sure how the land of PA Yeomans, David Holmgren, Bill Mollison, Geoff Lawton is confused about ecological soundness...

@rose_myrtle I would go talk to them. That'd piss me off.
