Default Neighbor Fence Problem/Question?? LONG!!

"They have no right to trash his garden!!"

I didn't know that ACCIDENTLY hitting a plastic "Whiffle-ball" into a
garden was considered "trashing a garden"!!!!!

I could see if the kids were running over into his garden and stepping
and stomping on all his plants, then yeah, that would be trashing his
garden. But thats not what they do, as they KNOW that they are not
allowed to go into his yard ( because of his threats to call the police!
).

But ACCIDENTLY hitting a plastic ball over in his garden like 3-4 times
a year is "trashing it"???

COME ON!!!!!


No "COME ON". Kinda depends what's in the garden at the time, like new
sprouts just seeing the sun for the first time. It probably escalated from
there, to an over-protective gardener. Maybe a recluse responding the only
way he/she is comfortable with. I don't know, just hearing your side.
Sounds like something that could be worked out locally, but, it also sounds
you've never addressed your neighbor personally in an amiable manner. Just
an irritant to you that you can't kill with your bug spray.

And the factual data about the so-called ditch vs. the amount of topsoil you
and your husband used to fill the ditch in is so bogus... And, you
acknowledged that the ditch was on his property. All of which you snipped
out in your previous reply of course.
