[QUOTE="Hindsight, post: 7609110, member: 3169"] Hi, not necessarily. I hazard a guess the OP is living around Boston, Possibly in one of the 'in fill' new builds and small housing estates. On this silt land brassicas are grown continuously in many fields, some double cropped. Quite often new houses are builds in fields and there is literally no physical boundary to the garden of the new build and I have seen brassica plants planted half a metre from the new build property garden. Just the way it is here in Lincs around Boston/Holbeach. The OP ought to find out who has the field and pop to see them. Most farmers locally will be friendly enough and accommodating and apologetic. Quite a bit more liquid fertiliser used now and this can give false impression of extra spraying taking place. Hedge and fence is a good idea as a physical barrier will prevent an awful lot of drift, if any were to happen. On 'sensitive' locations (awkward householders (!) we aim to spray very early in the morning (dawn) so it is a case hopefully of nothing see, nothing happened. But not always a practical solution. Hey ho. [/QUOTE]
