Hang on... I'm confused.

One of you says "burn the leaves", one of you says "don't burn them".


Burning diseased plant material risks spreading the infection as unburnt
bits of foliage become airborne.

Incinerating at the bottom of a bonfire or a garden incinerator might work
but my preference is to remove from the garden completely tot he local
authority recycling unit which composts and sterilizes.

I would'nt buy any of that compost that household recycling units s
ell.Is the mixture sterilised or jst heated up in the heap.?Would
something like Japanese Knotweed survive......Ken
