Burn it! Otherwise they'll be a mountain of brash or chippings. People forget how efficient burning can be, you don't have to chip all the time.

 

I'm always keen to burn, we recently burned 100's of tonnes on a site clearance, but that does not look like the kind of site where burning would go down well.

 

I recon the neighbours would soon have environmental health out to stop you.

Sometimes it's better to apologies than ask permission:001_smile:

Yeah I was gonna ask about the UK laws and burning. We get away with the odd bonfire over here in the west of Ireland (but you can get fined if caught out), but this job is close to Dublin and I'd say the coppers could be on it quick.

 

Plus this guy is surrounded by sown tillage, and I can't see him sacrificing his lovely lawn.

You can legally burn on site, so long its been cut on the site your burning on.

 

HOWEVER you cannot "cause a nuisance", so if a neighbour comes out and says your stinking out their washing on the line or the smoke is bother them in any other way you will soon get stopped, either by the council or plod.

What about letting him know it could be done for free!?

Nah it doesn't work like that here bro. At best they might lope a few of the leaders that are close to the wire sections in this hedge and leave all the crap behind, and you'd have to wait 6 months for even that to happen. Even if there was tangled mess growing up through that mains you would be lucky to get a decent topping job done. These contractors rarely have a chipper with them. Its usually two old lads with 'gypo wands' as Ive heard them referred to on here and a pickup. Pity his hedge isn't across the water.

:001_smile: Thanks. Used to be the same here as well. Two many d**chebags using tractor tyres to start fires over here probably ruined it for us all.
