Grass Clippings
Greetings All,
I have recently started a lawn mowing and gardening service in and around Ipswich QLD. I was wondering if anyone knows of another place, besides the local dump, where i can drop off the grass clippings? Regards Paul |

Drive real fast down the highway with the trailer gate open, at midnight!!!
Try contacting the council, www.ipswich.qld.gov.au however I expect anything other than authorised dumping would be illegal if caught. I am in Flinders View and have 10 acre paddock over my back fence for all my clippings. :-) H.P. "Paul Smart" wrote in message ...

Here's an alternative idea: Lash some old palletts together 4X4 overhead it would look something like this: ----------|---------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ----------|---------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ----------|---------- Dump your clippings in each one in turn. Try to get as many leaves mixed up in the clippings as possible. Leave for 3-6 months, and voila you have reasonalbe compost or pretty good mulch at the end of the process. -- Replace abuse with kd21 in email address to assure valid reply address. |

Regards Paul Can you buy, lease or rent acouple of acres away from residential areas? If you can, buy yourself an old end loader, some animal manure, preferably cow, pig or sheep, some hardwood sadust, bedding straw from stables and start a compst heap. You will need the end loader for stirring the compost and loading it onto vehicles to cart it away. Good organic compost will just about sell itself. Also contact the landscape gardeners and other lawn mowing services. Buy or encourage them to dump their clippings at your composting site. All this depends, of course, on obtaining land and the council licences/permits/red tape bullshit before you start. |

Great Idea, I'm keeping some of the good grass clippings and making compost out of it to sell back to customer next season. But i like your idea, Now just have to find somewhere cheap near us...mmmmmmmm |

Some people don't like the smell of nature at work. Not that the compost heap should smell. If it stinks its not a healthy heap. My little backyard bin has a anice musty perfume coming out so I know its working properly. |
