Hello,
Not a very happy post for my first one, but i could really do with some help on this.
I have a garden which is situated at the rear of my gable end house.
It is fenced off with fencing that has vertical gaps between lengths of wood,
I have lined, all along the inside of the fence with conifers, i done this three years ago, the conifers have thrived and before they died, had reached a height of roughly three feet.
The local council came round and sprayed the pavements around my garden with weedkiller, within two weeks they were dead.
I am at the moment in dispute with them over this, they are not accepting responsibility for their actions.
It was too much of a coincidence for them to deny this.
Their first responce was to blame the pea gravel which has been in place around the base of all of them since the day were planted, he had the cheek, (or is it the stupidity) to suggest that the lime had killed them.
I am at a loss as to how to prove their weedkiller actually killed them, and this is the area with which i need help.
I am refusing to accept their childish attitude on this, and i will not keep quiet.
I have spent hundreds of pounds on my garden, and am not prepared to simply write this money off, as the council would like me to do.
So, any suggestions on this would be greatly received, and appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
