Spent most of the day feeding crap through a new garden shredder, all I'm
left with is a huge pile of cuttings that are too small to shred, various
halves of trees that are too big to shred, and dried crap/grass.
I've made the executive decision to burn the f***ing lot, but can't decide
whether to buy an incinerator or just build a big heap on the ground and
torch it. There's plenty of stuff here that'll need sawing up to fit in an
incinerator, but on the other hand I don't want to leave a big scorch mark
on the grass (which is the only place to do it with enough space around).
Although I can live with it, it'll grow back one day.
What's the expert opinion? Will it burn quicker if it's "free" rather than
in a dustbin with holes in? I just want shot of the lot now, don't really
care how, and balls to the neighbours they ought to be at work tomorrow.


If it'll burn, save yourself the time & hassle & scorching and freecycle it. The rest just spread it about and it'll vanish, or pile it up out of the way.

Incinerators are inevitably slower, and still scorch the ground, just less so. I don't bother with them.
