I have a very wide border filled with lots of established plants and my neighbour has decided to creosote her side of the fence. Apart from the smell and the affect it has on my breathing I’m afraid it will kill my plants . I watered them but will it damage them ? I just wanted help before she starts on the rest of the panels. Thanks
