We have a farmer as a neighbor. He has his land sprayed with glyphosate. Now about 1m of it has landed over the border on our lawn. Overall about 5m wide. Of course, the lawn is ruined. Ok, I can reseed it. I could also ask for 5 euros for 3 seeds - but that's not my problem. What really annoys me, I hate that stuff. I don't want it near me and certainly not in my soil. Can I theoretically force the neighbor to remove and replace the soil?

I think so, but what good does that do you, where you live you are surrounded by it anyway.

There are spraying limits that farmers must observe for residential areas.

Take a look at this.
The BVL has now updated this (BVL 16/02/02 of April 27, 2016) and published it in the Federal Gazette.
This means that larger distances must now be maintained – specifically for pesticide applications


    [*]in field crops: 2 meters and
    [*]in indoor crops: 5 meters.

The specified minimum distances must be observed by users to


    [*]areas intended for the general public (§17 Plant Protection Act); this includes in particular public parks and gardens, green areas in publicly accessible buildings, publicly accessible sports fields including golf courses, school and kindergarten grounds, playgrounds, cemeteries as well as areas in the immediate vicinity of healthcare facilities;
    [*]properties with residential buildings and privately used gardens as well as
    [*]uninvolved third parties who, for example, use paths adjacent to the treated area.

The minimum distances to areas intended for the general public, properties with residential buildings and privately used gardens must also be observed even if no persons are present there at the time of application.
For adjacent paths in the field, the distance does not generally have to be maintained. It is sufficient if the user stops the spraying work when pedestrians, cyclists, etc. are present, interrupts the spraying, and waits until these persons have moved far enough away. Afterwards, the spraying can be resumed.

Now two or five meters in a bit of wind is nothing. Take photos of the damaged lawn, show them to the farmer. Come to an agreement with him that it does not happen again. He is allowed to spray, so don't get ideological, which is unfortunately not easy for you. You should not convert him, but protect your grass. If the conversation does not succeed, file a complaint. However, this is not the first step, only the last resort. If you want to live organically, you must not build at the edge of the field. Even if he sows genetically modified seed, you have to accept that. Karsten

Only, isn't it basically the flip side of the coin of the right to swing that he does not apply something right up to his boundary line that then hits the neighbor's land?
