The chipper is also incredibly noisy and uses electricity, so we would be causing another sort of pollution with it! We do use what we can on the indoor fire. At least we don`t have a bonfire every week, like Kath`s neighbour. <br />Kath - it might be time for a quiet word with your neighbour.<br />We also have a neighbour who loves his bonfires. He lights one most weekends, but the smoke usually drifts out over the fields. <br />BB- the remains of the Big Bonfire are still smouldering, a week on...Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493398068080107368.post-35779663753896277152011-03-10T08:17:54.862-08:002011-03-10T08:17:54.862-08:00We've had a couple of bonfires this week, but ...We've had a couple of bonfires this week, but we definitely had a "too wet" moment with Bonfire 2, although B. 1 went quite well, and we have even cleared the ashes away for the garden.<br /><br />I know what you mean about the timing being right, although I am glad to say that our only near neighbours are cows . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493398068080107368.post-70414597409092782272011-03-10T04:18:19.265-08:002011-03-10T04:18:19.265-08:00Oh bonfires are a sore-point for me today.

My neighbours gardener is having a blaze in their back garden and the smoke is blowing right at my house, choking us in our garden and I can't put my washing out. This seems to be a regular occurence, as he comes very Thursday. We have ours at dusk when folks are indoors. At least you have the space around you, to enjoy your annual blaze and not bother other people :-)Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493398068080107368.post-42374222679706790052011-03-09T20:19:24.979-08:002011-03-09T20:19:24.979-08:00Have you ever thought of getting a wood chipper?

The chipper would reduce the "noncompostable" things to chips that could be either composted or use to lay paths, or mulch around plants. It wouldn't have to be a very big chipper to deal with the sort of thing you'd want it for. You wouldn't accumulate great piles, because you would chip it as you go. But, on the other hand, bonfires are fun. . .WOLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775462248193876148noreply@blogger.com
