[QUOTE="Rue, post: 7609804, member: 159533"] Thank you for all of your great replies. Just to answer- Our house is in the middle of almost an acre of land, in width. We do not have a lot of front garden or back so the sprayer comes close. The Children's bedrooms will be the front rooms. We think they spray the back too but we've never seen those fields being sprayed as yet. We know the farmer for that field. Our land sits lower than the road and field opposite and it's often quite gusty there. This is why we got hit with the drift. The Boom was hanging over the path and spraying passing cars too also passing Bikes. He was speeding and the drift was visible. I don't think he needed to spray that close. Good job nobody was walking by at that moment. The house has been there since the 70's and it had another house sitting there previous for around 200years. I think it was also a farm at one time that has lost it's land over the years. There aren't any new homes nearby, it's a well established street with farm land that is rented out mostly I believe. It's true, I've not actually seen the spraying locally before now. Others say they have closer to the centre. However, I wasn't aware this strip got sprayed. I would never have considered living there. I think the field is rented and it may be that they didn't used to grow here, it was mud/grass previously. The sprayer saw us there gardening I'm sure. I've seen him look at us, but I do get he has a job to do. I'm not quite sure he's doing it right the way he speeds around and I'd love him to be a little more considerate if not. Maybe leave a nice gap from the path/roads. Nobody is getting back to me at the moment but hope they do soon. The last response I had from a neighbouring farmer was basically that the booms are low to prevent drift and any time can be spray time. It seems they're really over spraying right now. We can't live like that. We had our vents open upstairs and I could actually smell it in what will be my Daughters bedroom. I thought maybe I was imagining it but my Husband could too. We are seriously considering not moving there now and can you imagine the hassle of that. We're renovating it and hope to be ready soon. Our neighbouring farmer seems much more considerate but also not too forthcoming with any information. It's been sprayed a lot while we've been there and it's made us feel quite unwell. The local Councillor told me that ''it's safe but just pongs a bit''. So I thought, okay, but that's not been the case. Not quite sure what to do if I can't find out who is spraying/owns the land. The Red Tractor said- Baxter 3000 I think. [/QUOTE]
