OP what kind of scheme does your local council have for getting rid of garden waste? Mine has the green wheelie bin which you pay for up front them they collect, and the garden waste bags which you pay £1 for, fill up then ring them to let them know they're ready for collection on bin day.
Fab idea with the cardboard but do try and make sure it's not shiny cardboard. I'll leave you to decide whether you want wee in there or not Lovin the term "wee'er" though, it's made me chuckle this morning Lol
man wee for fox repelling, any wee for compost is how I understand it
Hi Katy - a project's always exciting , and by the sound of it, anything you do will be an improvement!
I think Fruitcake's suggestion about the council is a good one. That way, you can get everything out, and you can get a better idea of what you have, and what you can do with it. If you have the inclination to start a compost bin and get the green stuff separated from the rubbish that would be great, but it depends what other demands on your time there are. I'm a great believer in recycling as much as possible, but I also understand that we have lots of other things which take up our time and resources
Once you have a clean slate, you can decide what you have room for and start preparing the plot for your veg and all sorts of good things.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Well, well. You must think I'm taking the...
Seriously, Katy, (if we haven't scared you off by now) urine (whatever the sex of the producer) is good for compost but not essential.
