my council composts garden waste and makes it available for free at
the
local dump.



Amersham council sell their and not too cheaply wither! Mind you,
seeing
what people put in the compost I wouldn't want any. I can't believe
that
ground elder and bindweed will be killed by simple composting and
what
about the odd chunk of Japanese knotweed that some new gardener
might
not recognise?

Nothing survives an well executed composting process My Council
jollop looks as near to perfectly composted material as I have ever
seen. Time will tell if it only looks good, or if it actually
benefits the garden.

Jollop?, I had a good smile at that one!. That word was said occasionally
when I was a child, by my Dad when referring to the diaphorryo the poor
footsloggers in the WW1 trenches suffered. Actually the word is jalap; A
purgative drug derived from the tuberous roots of a Mexican climbing
plant., - ( Spanish, Ipomoea , family Convolvulaceae.); It was the only
military answer to constipation and it was said it was not usually required
just before they went over the top..
He was better off in WW2, - he was a Flight Louie in the R.A.F. Training
Command and the Officers Mess was not short of a loo or three..
