There is no way of getting it back of . Tons and tons every were . What will happen to wild life , to livestock . Or it getting into the food chain .

islandgun Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I was advised not to use the "composted" green waste from my local council site, I now see why... When are we going to incinerate ALL our waste and use it as a source of energy. I remember reading about a Scandinavian country that was importing our waste to fuel a power station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 hello, i am sure it will have some bearing in Organic farming, where farmers who have been conned into spreading this waste will have no chance to become Organic in future terms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derbyduck Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) another concern with green waste is plant diseases and blights , a lot of this stuff is going into bagged up compost that people are putting back on their gardens , most members of the allotment i'm on take diseased plants home to but them in the Green bin and this is recycled again, this waste is supposed to turned and heat should build up over six weeks ! a chap I know works on one of these plants and I asked him about how they made it he said it should be six weeks composting but if they ran out of old stuff the new goes into mixer ! there are only a few compost makes that state Green Waste Free on their product ! the biggest disease problem facing uk farmers at the moment is Clubroot on oilseed rape !
