Views please on muck heap disposal please. Someone I know is having to pay to have their muck heap taken away. It's not been removed for at least 2 years to my knowledge, so up until now has just been gradually increasing in size. Apparently no-one wants 'it', as it is mainly made up of wood pellets. Rumours of straw is best as it breaks down and farmers are willing to spread this on the land but nobody wants any muck that contains wood pellets! I am led to believe that wood pellets actually biodegrade FASTER than straw. Can see this heading in the wrong direction and tennants possibly being 'forced' to use a certain type of bedding to keep someone happy, which in turn will cause all sorts of problems, - mainly to do with allergies etc. How do you dispose of your muck heaps please? I have heard of people with substantial size yards actually burning the muck heap annually reducing it to ash. I can't help but feel this person is being taken for a ride, as I'm sure the person taking the muck away will be profiteering quite nicely .... Your thoughts please
