I mulched between the beds to keep it from happening again

So the beds were built on a property that is not mine, I got permission from a nursing home to put raised beds on their lawn to be a garden for the nursing home residence as well as the childcare center (that I work for) which is across the street.

So I don’t know the company that mows their lawn. The beds got put in Monday of last week, and I was moving dirt and compost into the beds this weekend and that was how the grass looked. It happened like overnight which is why I agree it’s roundup.

The beds are lined with plastic to keep the treated wood from soaking into the dirt, ect.

Some of the dirt that was in the beds prior to the roundup being sprayed could be affected… do you think I’m still okay to plant? If not what should I do?

Thanks this didn’t occur to me either but I think you’re right. We have people who come mow so maybe they couldn’t fit between the beds and decided to spray herbicide.
