The spring is coming and, inconveniently, our LA has stopped its 'all

there's a limit to how many dirty great bins you can have around the
place, and I reckon that 2 weeks of cutting our grass will probably fill
one of them. We also 'employ' a gardener (yup, it's a pretty big
garden). Although he's getting on a bit, he still seems to be able to
cut down a lot of stuff in teh few hours he's here.
The obvious solution (which most people will take) is, unfortunately, to
burn the excess, as the last thing I want is to accumulate piles of
rat-infested compost heaps that never get used.
So....What's the best arrangement for burnign garden waste? Obviously,
it needs a bit of time to dry out first, but this can be reduced by
getting a good blaze going. My first thought was/is a galvanised
incinerator bin but before I get one, I thought someone here might have
some insight.

Cheers chaps


So yesterday was green waste day and there were very few wheelie bins
(apart from mine) out on our street. Quite a few green bags though,
which were dutifully ignore by the collectors.
Came home in the evening to a heavy scent of bonfire in the air. It
might have been a coincidence but probably not...
