Garden Bonfires

[threebikesmcginty]

You know, when it's been dry and sunny for a bit, stuff tends to burn well on a bonfire without all that nasty smoke that makes your neighbours start tutting, get their washing in and shut their windows.

It was hard work but I managed to find some rubbish that did it!

It's the burning question. Probably.

I usually find that burning a wicker man whilst chanting, naked in the garden, surrounded by the fruit of my gardening efforts (weeds) gets tongues wagging.

I was out walking on Saturday when i had the misfortune to pass one! They must've been burning some kind of oil based product the cloud of smoke was choking! These wonkers seem to think it's ok to do as they please!

I agree, people going out for walks, shouldn't be allowed.

You do realise that you just walked straight into a trap, took the bait and totally lost the coconut?

I find a car tyre keeps it going for hours.... Michelin especially- must be the tread pattern.

My Local councils bonfire policy

• Burn only dry material - this limits the risk of smoke nuisance

• Do not burn household rubbish

• Do not burn rubber tyres

• Do not use petrol or oil to light a fire

• Do not light a fire in unsuitable weather conditions - smoke hangs in the air on damp, still days and in the evening

• Never burn when the wind will carry smoke over roads or other peoples property. You could be liable for injury or damage caused

• Avoid burning at weekends and on bank holidays when your neighbours have a right to enjoy their gardens,

• Never leave a fire unattended or leave it to smoulder - douse it with water if necessary

Christ! They're a bag of laughs.

coconut husks burn rather well actually.

yeah, as long as your fire is hot enough your smoke should go straight up so burn away.

On a scale of 0 to 10, how Manly did poking a stick in a bonfire make you feel? (10 = very Manly).

Roofing felt is good.

Have you had your underfelt yet madam?

Easily a 10.

Burning gardens is a good idea, I hate gardening. I could mow the grass if I had any.

Every building site used to have a giant bonfire towards the end of the contract. Where did they go? In comparison, skips are not exactly a 10 are they?
