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.
this weather leave it a few weeks to get the worst of the moisture out,
pour some diesel (NOT petrol*) on it, and light blue touch paper.

we torched all the scrap ends of a tatty maple a couple of months ago
about 6 weeks after it had been felled and turned into sticks. Took a
but of leylandii and some old boxes to start it (no diesel) but it
went. old candle stubs perched on top will also hget it going nicely,..

*Really, don't even THINK about petrol . I used it once and am fortunate
not to have the scars to show for it.
