[AT] Garden question

[charlie hill]

Ahh.  You need signs!  Or can they read??
DO NOT SPRAY HERE!!!!!

Even if he thinks he's doing you a favor if you've told him
not to do it and his help does it anyway he's still responsible.
However, I know all to well how that goes.  You're in a bad spot.
Kind of like the time my neighbors wife wanted to show off her
new diesel powered Kubota ZTR lawn mower by mowing my front
yard for me unannounced.   There was a big, white torpedo type
net cork (6" diameter by about 10" long) laying in the yard.  It had a
6 foot long piece of black polypropylene rope run through it.   She saw the
cork but not the rope and passed close by it.  The mower picked up the rope
and threw the cork through a 8' high by 12' long section of store front 
glass
that used to be the "picture window" of my house.   She reluctantly offered
to help pay for the damage.  I didn't ask her too offer and didn't ask her
to pay.  I didn't want to hear it.  I just chalked it up to good intentions.
Now I have two 6' wide sliding glass doors in that hole with a transom
window above that I had to fabricate myself because it was an odd ball size.

Charlie,
     He is not being careless.  He is spraying intentionally, thinking
he is doing me a favor.  I have had many talks with him, but the next
thing you  know, it happens again.
He always claims it is a new guy and he is only following directions.
Spray all approaches and around all buildings.  Stupid hired help he
gets does not know they are not spraying his rented ground but are
spraying mine.  By the time I find out, it is too late.
