Lucky you having any bin for garden rubbish or household. <br />We get, very thin black bags and clear plastic bags for recycle, and have regular trips to the local dump for garden waste. Love those trips. Often bring back more bits for 'up cycling'.

Hubby borrowed a very long ladder and unblocked the guttering on our very tall house. He worried the life out of me with his antics up the ladder and then informed me that he felt a bit wobbly ( diabetes meds and failure to eat is not a good idea.) then he turned his attention to the ivy which was romping up the neighbours wall, and then to some rampant greenery which is not ours but was about to eat the newly replaced shed roof which had been eaten by a jasmine. We don't have a brown bin so we filled 10 huge green garden waste bags and went to the tip. I had no time to craft so was very grumpy.<br />X ChrisChris Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14877620818923735944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503273137731853241.post-26150852625808297352013-08-07T15:55:13.945+01:002013-08-07T15:55:13.945+01:00What a carry on, our "green" garden bin ...What a carry on, our "green" garden bin is brown as well :-) Lisapmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695918651363501014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503273137731853241.post-56633797366804164972013-08-07T15:11:10.052+01:002013-08-07T15:11:10.052+01:00Where is the logic in having a BROWN bin for garde...Where is the logic in having a BROWN bin for garden waste???
