how to deal with grass clippings and bush cuttings

[misdee]

how do you all get rid of them, the local council arent issueing any more brown bins, so i am forced to buy the special bags to put my garden waste out and they cost a lot.

how can i compost(??) my own clippings? i dont want a heap, as have 3 young children who will want to play on it. is there a special type of bin you can use?

i am very bad when it comes to garden stuff, can you tell?

i'm looking at this page i want the water butt too

you need a compost bin
Many councils do discounts on them.

they're the ones. We have a water butt - it's great.

what else can go in them? i mean kitchen waste wise.

do i need the extra base thiny and the stuff to compost quicker? i am not really the gardening type atm, so am in no great rush for compost lol.

I don't know. Am always a bit unsure of what to put on our heap because of rats but most things are probably ok in the plastic contained ones (potato peelings, bread etc.) coffee granules are supposed to make excellent compost.

am off to order the big compost bin as garden is a fair size, and the water butt.

i am cutting back brambles soon, can they go in?

or will that mean they will sprout elsewhere?
