Secrertary of the allotments says he's just heard today the govt is
looking at charging people for every compost bin they have.
Have had a quick look on the news online but can't see anything about
it...

He probably reads the Daily Mail so I shouldn't worry

Don't knock it, I like it. Ignore half of it and there may be some
credence in half of what's left.

When it comes up with alarmist rubbish like this ?
"How green gardening is encouraging an explosion in rat population"

Article starts by claiming that 'research suggests' that the trend for
compost heaps and eco gardens is fuelling an explosion in rat numbers

Shock horror figures on the numbers of people seeing rats and whether they
keep chickens, have compost bins or use bird feeders.

Fair dues to the actual journalist involved, he does point out that the
survey was conducted for a Pest Control company, he also points out that
some of the 'non composting' people don't even have gardens, and makes the
good point that people who have chickens or make compost are more likely to
be IN the garden in the first place.

I suspect that the shock horror parts were added later by a sub editor, so
in my view, 'yes' you should knock the Daily Mail
