A council worked arrived at my garden 30th July on a windy day and
sprayed
glyphosate randomly about by the look of it
My herbs and flowers were the first to show damage and some flowers
look like they are completely dead.
I caught all of the spraying on CCTV and sent it to the council.
The man I spoke to said that the spray only kills weeds and will not
affect my veg
He then said it was safe to eat my veg because the department that are
responsible said it was sprayed on the path
How do I get the dead plants tested for the weed killer ?
I think his advise was not very good and I did use some sage that had
been sprayed the same day and my gums were bleeding when I brushed them
at bedtime
I had a swollen gum for a few days
Citizens advice have given me an appointment, so I'll have to wait and
see if anything can be done

Do you live in a Council House and ask them to control some weeds for you?
I don't understand what a Council worker was doing on your property
uninvited otherwise.
Glyphosate will kill any green plant it touches, I certainly would not eat
any plant exposed to it. That said it does disintegrate on contact with the
soil so there is no serious lasting damage to your garden only to the plants
in it.
