Bonfires are completely unneccessary, all you need is a shredder for
garden
waste.

If you have a smallish garden, perhaps.




If you have a big garden then surely you have room for a big pile?

Yes, I have 2 big compost heaps aided by my chickens poo, and I have a
shredder but my garden is 1/4 acre and has so many shrubs & trees to be
pruned that I cannot use all the mulch or have it decompose in the compost
heap without it getting out of control and not working.

I defend my right to have a bonfire occasionally, so far down the garden it
does not harm anyone - my neighbour cannot even see it and has no idea I
even had one.
