rubbish, to some, a good source of organic compost for others. Yes,
I agree with you that it is too much without the balance. You are
thr carbon, I am the nitrogen. Leaves or paper or saw dust
shouldn't be too hard to scrounge in most places. Neighbours have
trees in abundance round here and I can get acres of paper from
work. I enjoy a good tongue in cheek argument.

Any leaves, paper or sawdust I can scrounge go on the fire. We used
to do paper but, as I am the IT manager [giggles] the office is now
paperless so far as I can make it so. I gave up newspapers when I
discovered that the Su Doku is reproduced the day after on The Times
website, so I have a total of one A4 sheet per day. And that doubles
as a shopping list, notepad, and fuel.

You can't beat a good argument though. What does the panel think
about leaving cuttings (short) on the lawn? It's usually very much
one way or the other.


You must be very cold. Hopefully the guy with the grass isn't as cold
and can get some carbon. I lifted a sack from a local tree miller
yesterday, all free and untreated, he was happy to get rid of it,
went in with my grass today.

Lets argue, as long as you don't call me a red nosed **** like you
did to the clown.

Ho ho.

Well spotted, it wasn't me who thought of "UM", it was someone else :-)

It sort of stuck.
