Neighbours Help

For the last year my compost bin has been at the end of my garden near shed and fence. The garden is quite small. Last week we spread the compost on the land reserved for fruit trees. My neighbour's front door faces my garden. When we were digging in the compost last week I must admit it was a wee bit niffy. Not sure why but maybe someone can advise me later We still have to finish it off and the smell will be gone. It has almost gone now. She is screaming blue murder and is now sniffing against the fence where the compost bin is and inviting all the neighbours to have a wee sniff as well (the bin is one from B&Q with a lid. I know the smell will be gone as indeed it almost is after the work this weekend. There was no smell at all for the last year. Does she have any recourse in law as she gets obsessed with any wee problem in life and rushes off to the police . I don't have anywhere else to site the bin and given she had no complaint for the whole of last year I don't see why I should. Or should I? I have absolutely no wish to make anyone unhappy.. no not even her but is this OTT? Comments please? Ophelia Scotland IANAL, but I think she would only have recourse to law if it was a persistant nuisance. A couple of days wouldn't qualify. As to why it smell, it could be that the heap has not been getting enough air. Anaerobic decompostion (decomposition in the absence of oxygen) is usually fairly smelly. This could be the case in your heap as you say that the smell has faded a lot now it has been exposed to the air. You could try using layers of woddy material on your heap in future to create air spaces, and turning your heap over now and again to introduce more air to it. I think your neightbour sounds like a nightmare, and this isn't really a problem that you need be concerned will get you in to any trouble. |
