What To Do With Dirty Weeds
Previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer ^W^W^W^W uk.rec.gardening, I
heard swroot say... If I can't do that, or it's something with seeds, then the weeds are stored in a lidded bin/in the garage until I remember I'll be passing the tip, at which point I add them to the 'green waste' compacter. In this county green waste is either roughly composted, then spread on fields farmed using glyphosate (they don't have to worry about problem weeds) or processed using anaerobic digestion. In Northamptonshire, we have wheelie bins for garden waste & compost. However, they recently sent us a note to say: "Following the foot and mouth epidemic, legal changes have been made to the Animal By-products Order. This restricts the types of waste that can be composted in the open air. As a result, vegetable peelings, fruit, salad, tea bags, stale bread and eggshells that would normally be put in the brown bin along with garden waste and cardboard can no longer be included." I don;t understand how that list has anything to do with animal by- products. We are told that we are allowed to continue to put them on our own compost heaps, but if we throw them away, they go in the black bin with all the non recyclable stuff. -- Fenny If anyone ever tries to tell you nothing rhymes with orange, don't believe them. It doesn't. |
