The last five bags of garden clippings were taken to the recycling centre this morning – it took approx 1.5 hours to cut the bush clipping down and insert them into the five bags we bought earlier in the week.

There is probably a further half bag to go along with the existing stuff that had been already dumped in the corner before we moved in. So we decided to buy a metal waste burning bin from the garden centre while we were ordering our new garden furniture for the front garden.

When Simon comes back from Australia we will have some little garden fires to begin to eat our wat through the compost content – the decomposed stuff can be spread out onto the garden beds and we will hopefully gain access to more space down at that part of the garden,
