What do you do with what I call dirty weeds. You know the type
that if they go on the compost heap, they just wait to multiply

I have usually put a small bag of such weeds in with the weekly
rubbish collection but probably won't be able to do that soon
with a change in rubbish collections. I also read that buried
weeds don't break down when buried in landfill sites.


Every council 'tip' that I have 'done business with' has a green
garden waste skip. If your normal refuse collection won't take it -
and ours won't, there is nothing to prevent you taking it to the
'tip'. Our 'local' tip is nine miles away and I'm happy to make
that journey. 'Did it twice last Thursday.


Strewth, that's a long way to barrow your garden waste - assuming
you have a barrow of course.

Ah. Its a big plot that we are still trying to reclaim from the wild.
Some we shred. Some we burn. And some, well its just too big and bulky
to dispose of ourselves.
So the options are,
Bung it in someone elses ditch - perish the thought.
Hire a skip.
Or take it to the tip.
Barrow? Yep. Two. 'Did say it was a big plot. ;-)
