"Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... The message from "anton" contains these words: "Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... UK kitchen refuse is not banned from composting http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/...cs/kitchen.htm (snip) So the ******* have made illegal what nearly everyone in this ng is doing, and since then have been trying to avoid admitting it. You're misleading this group. No. Defra's website is not as clear as it should be, because it refers to the 'amended legislation' without making it totally clear as to whether the relevant amendment is the 2001 amendment or the 'pending' amendment. However, "Pending the amending of the legislation, spreading on land composted waste that contains meat, or could have come into contact with meat, or has been in premises that also handle meat, remains illegal" makes it clear enough. Here is what Defra says, spelled out for you from the source I quoted above. *" Q3. Under the amended legislation, ****will*** householders who keep pets or other animals (which would *access composted material spread on their land) be allowed to use composted kitchen waste on their *gardens? *Yes, subject to certain conditions (see below) and providing it is composted from the kitchen waste *of the household. [my emphasis added above] You missed the future tense in the 'will'. I suggest that you re-read it taking careful note of how they use the future tense to tell us about what the legislation *will* be in future. It's a sad thing when government output is designed to cover their previous cock-ups and mislead us, and has to be read with a lawyer's eye to discover what the real state of affairs is. -- Anton |
