Neighbor Weeds

Could be worse.

Many moons ago, I was frustrated with a neighbor who never used his weed-eater on his side of the hurricane fence.

When I sprayed it with Roundup, I made sure and spray about 3 feet on his side. He never said a thing.

Note: His mower always gave him problems, as he left it in the rain. But his boat always ran great!

What did he say when you talked to him?

I would not spray round up on someone else’s yard without permission, regardless of how bad it looks

But if he does not care about his yard , talk with him, I am betting he would not care if you treated the adjoining aspects with a selective herbicide

And thistle grow through wind blown seeds and root infiltration, your one foot round up border will do little to stop them

No it’s not justified to spray your neighbors yard with round up. Spray your own yard.

Sure it's not native thistle? I let mine grow in the spring. Great for the bees.

I sprayed a one foot strip of his "yard" with Roundup.

That's actually worse for you because Roundup will kill everything and only weeds will grow back there. Try MSM, Celsius or something like that. When spraying/treating your yard, just overlap about 5 feet into your neighbors. That would work much better than roundup.

I go heavy pre-emergent on my border and since my neighbors don’t even know what that is, I go about 3 feet into their yard with it. Neither knows, nor would they care.

One asked my how my yard is weed free, so I told him what to do. He didn’t listen, still proceeded to use Weed & Feed, then asked me 3 days after applying why he still has weeds. After telling him to give it a few weeks, he immediately put down Weed & Feed the next day

Pour a concrete chain wall between your properties. Problem solved.
