Compost heap - neighbour objects!
"sugarCandy" wrote in message news Hi I'm feeling a bit peeved after the bank holiday weekend. A neighbour of mine requested I dispose of a heap of animal waste that that would attract blue bottles, rats and mice. When told it was a compost heap, he said it was inappropriate to have in in the garden. Hi Annie I had problems with a neighbour and discussed it here at the time. My neighbour, who is one who would call the police, the council and for all I know the United Nations. She got nowhere so if you go by my experience.. you will probably end up with him AT your door making demands but you may ignore him) My neighbour no longer speaks to us but that is a huge advantage) Ophelia Scotland |

The first time I met our elderly neighbour last spring, he said early guests in his holiday house had complained of lice in the beds. This had never happened before we moved in, and he assured me the source of the infestation is "all that seaweed you keep spreading on the garden". ROFL |

The message
from Jane Ransom contains these words: In article , Janet Baraclough. . writes It won't be mandatory for householders to have compost heaps; millions of flat-dwellers could not, for example. On the continent there are 'local' community composting sites for such people. Apparently the scheme works really well. There are several in rural Scotland too; but in the one I know (outskirts of rural village) the users need transport to move their green-refuse to the site. We tried to set one up here, but were refused planning permission - through some totally inexplicable political shenanigans It's becoming a pressing issue here on Arran. The current landfill site will be full within a year or two, the (mainland) county council also has to find a way to recycle more green refuse, AND, emissions from the ancient sewage systems have to be brought up to European water-quality standards asap. So, what we really need, and desperately want, is an island greencomposting site, and an ecological sewage disposal system (installed and working perfectly on private adjacent island). What do we get from the mainland planners and water authority? A hopelessly inappropriate "modern" sewage design identical to the one which has already been installed on two other west-coasts sites and cause major havoc by flooding villages with raw pooh; followed by an amended, even more crazed plan to take all the island's sewage and all rubbish (unsorted)to the mainland, at huge expense, with shit/rubbish trucks sharing the ferry with tourists (who are the island's major income). You couldn't make it up :-( Janet. |

The message
from "sugarCandy" contains these words: /snip/ Has anyone else had problems with compost heaps causing complaints? I was really surprised, as I thought I had been responsible, and I was trying to reduce the waste put out for the bin men by recycling. Problem is I haven't got anywhere else to site it, as it was situated between my shed and garage, so as to be out of sight of the main garden. You were doing the correct and sensible thing, and your neighbour doesn't have a leg to stand on.
