So you are living in one of the many apartments that have been thrown up by builders across Ireland
Like me
You recycle the paper and plastic, but you also want to reduce the amount you are adding to the landfill.
Like me
Builders should have put in some compost heap with the bin sheds – but of course they didn’t.
So I bought a Bokashi composting system. Two 17 litre buckets designed to be used in rotation – two weeks worth of kitchen waste – cooked and uncooked, layered with some wheatgerm infused with some bacteria to accelerate the fermentation process.
Yes the wheatgerm did seem to keep down the smells and all was well. My problem is what to do with it after its spent two weeks being filled up and then two weeks sitting. The pamphlet suggests digging it into the soil. Problem is the no garden which inspired me to buy it in the first place.
I rang Wicklow Country Council, (I’m based in Bray). Unfortunately they have no where one could bring this ‘brown waste’.
So the question is – does anyone know if Dublin County Council have a spot for this?
Or does anyone have any bright suggestions ?
– aside from going into the Woods and digging it in – risking suspicion of body burying or something
