"Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... The message from "anton" contains these words: Use of compost from "mixed" waste Where catering or household waste contains meat or other products derived from animals then, although it may be composted, it may not, currently, be used on land. The Animal By- Products Order prohibits the use of this mixed compost on land where animals (including wild birds) may have access. However, this position, is set to change. The draft EU Regulation on Animal By -Products will allow the use of properly composted mixed waste on all land except pastural land. We expect this Regulation to come into force in the Spring of 2002." The above quote is not from the url you quote, and I suspect that you've missed a trick. Yes, sorry, I'd wandered onto another page dated June 2001 :~} Please give the source of your quote. http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/...opics/compost/ Right. So rewind to your original url and you'll find that the composting and spreading on land of stuff that's been in a kitchen (even a domestic kitchen, not a commercial one) has been illegal, because of potential contamination with animal products, since 2001. The amendments which may change this are in the future as is implicit in your original url dated 2004. We are governed by liars that have turned the civil service, who were formerly merely incompetent, into propagandists for their masters. Accordingly, any government offering has to read very closely, and the bits that possibly fooled you a * the references to 'amended' legislation, without clarity as to whether this was the original (2001) amendment or the amended amended legislation (2006?); *the reference to green waste which suggests broccoli stalks etc to you and me but actually excludes these if they have been in a kitchen; and *'properly composted' which may suggest one thing to you but actually requires a lot of automated control systems, temperature sensors, and record keeping. happy activation-free (cos it's an animal product)composting Anton, you're just panicking. Time to grow up. They found a fault in the original legislation, and they're repairing it. You're the man I'd go to first for advice about fruit trees; but when it comes to textual analysis, well, if you don't mind, I'll do it myself. Mike. |
