Hello!
I am distraught over what my neighbor has done. We live in Brooklyn and have a small but pretty garden, at least we did until about two months ago when our next door neighbor cleaned his patio paving stones with at least two gallons of bleach! He is only now admitting this to us. Over this time all the plantings some of which are at least 50 years established plants have dried up and lost their leaves like it was November. This is true of our grape vines a well as lilac bushes- almost everything. We first noticed a problem along the fencing of the perimeter of his yard but now the damage seems to be migrating and affecting our cherry tree and other larger bushes. It has also damaged a wisteria vine (I didn't think you could hurt those:)).
His neighbor on the other side of his house is experiencing the same damage.
At this point I just want to save our garden- any advice on how to get these plants back? I read somewhere that bleach changes the alkaline in the soil but I'm not sure how to go about remedying this.
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
