depends what you burnt: wood and plant material is good
I'd think twice about old tyres and matresses.

I'd go along with that.
We had a big derelict plot that required a lot of 'tidying up'. This
resulted in several bonfires which we moved around depending on the
wind direction. Despite the fires being quite fierce and leaving 6 ft

and are thriving. Nature is a great re-cycler. Return to her that
