Default Garden Incinerator

I find a use for our "incinerator". Posh word for something that is
actually an old and quite rusty 44 gallon drum with the top and bottom
cut
out. It has a very rough 8 inch square hacked out on one side and shoved
inwards so I can shove some kindling and a fire lighter inside to set it
going and it has a series of slots hacked into it with a tomahawk all the
way round the base. I use it to burn blackberry brash, fruit tree
prunings,
weeds I can't be bothered to lug to the trailer or can't fit into it and
a
variety of other things. It lives in the orchard which is about a
quarter
of an acre and serves as the chook's day yard. At this time of the year
when it's perishing outside, there is nothing like a burn off of stuff.


Burn cans are illegal throughout our county. Very annoying. I recommend
the following constitutional ammendment:

"A well regulated garden being necessary to the securing of a tidy yard,
the right of the People to keep and use burn-cans shall not be infringed."


LOL. Bet there would be more than an even chance of getting that
Constitutional amendment up.

BTW, love the few bits of your site I've looked at so far.
