    Fairygirl, I'm going to have to bag stuff, but that really is limited help in the longer term.  I still already have the equivalent of a binful with no way to dispose of it.  If I'm only going to be able to put half of what I have in the bin in 2 weeks time (if it's emptied) I'm still going to have a mountain of stuff to get rid of.

    If it’s anything like where we are you can lay the grass out, by tonight you’d have made hay, light dry and fluffy, you can then put it back in the bin.

    We have recently switched to wheelie bins for garden waste; before, we had green bags, with a list printed on them of what to put in and what not.  Among the "nots" were listed:  "invasive weeds".  How can a weed be anything but invasive?

    I feel for you @josusa47 our council started green waste collection again on 6 April. Despite several e-mails my bin has not yet been emptied, hoping it will become a hot composter in this weather and the willowherb, dock and couch grass will cook  :)

    I'll be checking our non-recyclable bin next week and chucking green waste in there if there's any room.  Put it below the black bags and they'll be none the wiser.

    I wish people would stop trying to kill everything :|
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    There's been a lot of the 'I don't know what this is but how do I kill it?' posts recently.

    It's all these people who've recently discovered they have a garden @wild edges, and don't want to share it with any other living creatures.... :/

    I doubt the binmen will be bothered @KT53 ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
