For the last year my compost bin has been at the end of my garden near
shed
and fence. The garden is quite small. Last week we spread the compost
on
the land reserved for fruit trees.
My neighbour's front door faces my garden. When we were digging in the
compost last week I must admit it was a wee bit niffy. Not sure why but
maybe someone can advise me later
We still have to finish it off and the smell will be gone. It has
almost
gone now. She is screaming blue murder and is now sniffing against the
fence
where the compost bin is and inviting all the neighbours to have a wee
sniff
as well (the bin is one from B&Q with a lid.

I have absolutely no wish to make anyone unhappy.. no not even her but
is
this OTT?
Very OTT, I'd say. Send her down here - a neighbouring farmer spread
slurry
last w/e and that clears the nasal passages, I can tell you. And as for
the
pig farm yesterday........
The only people to whom she can complain are the Environmental Health lot
who, unless you get rat-infested compost, won't be interested. The
'nuisance' has to be recorded by the complainer for a 5 week period IIRC
and
be on a regular basis which your compost clearly isn't.
If you *really* want to get her going plant a neat row of Salvia sclarea
Turkestanica against your fence.......trouble is you'd have to move then!
LOLOL Thank you Sacha
