After reading Donovans post, I figured I would tell you one of my neighbors.
If you a have a neighbor like this you understand. I'll only highlight his most idiot moves.
1. He has 11 acres, tells his kids to hit the golf balls in the field so they don't tear up the yard. I have to tell them to stop since they are teeing up on the soybeans which are about 4 inches.
2. Plants his garden in my field before spring tillage. Honest truth. The guy I rent my land to fixed it with one pass on spring tillage. Neighbor told me, "oh that was a low wet spot in your field, I didn't think you would plant there."
3. Plants new garden at the edge of my field. Waters with 32oz plastic cups, but leaves them in the garden. Any wind takes those and five gallon buckets and blows them in my field. Worst is he won't pick them up. 3 times I have picked them up, and set them at the edge. Sometimes he will grab them other times, the wind brings them back again.
Finally this spring I was sick of picking up his stuff, left it lay for two weeks, he didn't touch it. Right or wrong, I needed to brush hog my field for new tree plantings. Countless 32oz cups got mulched, 2 or 3 5 gallon buckets, a planter off his porch and his flannel jacket. All of this stuff can be 100 to 200 feet into my fields.
He trimmed branches the other day and just pushed them over the line to my place. He has a brush pile but its on the other side of his property. Bottom line he's just a lazy person.
I now leave a 3 foot strip of weeds to help slow down his junk. Thinking of a snow fence next.
Neighbor on the other side (good guy), has said more than once lazy neighbors kids will just walk in his house, don't knock or anything, and just start going through the fridge and eating dinner. FWIW lazy neighbor is quite well employed along with his wife, so money for food it not an issue, its just lack of proper teaching.
Sorry for being kind of long, but I do believe good fences make good neighbors in this case.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
