So, I knew, vaguely, that you weren’t supposed to put green waste in your wheelie bin. I also knew that methane is 20 times worse than CO2. I ALSO knew, in a ‘pushing it to the back of my mind and ignoring it sort of way’, that putting green waste into landfill creates methane.

End of last week I got the flyer in the mail announcing a green waste pick up starting Monday, and my brain suddenly went AARRGGHH.

I have been weeding like a MAD WOMAN, I tell you! This morning they did the pick up, which was disappointing, as I was on a MISSION.


However, the front yard is done at last – bloody google, they should give people notice before they photograph them – and my resolution is to continue going out the back every day for at least half an hour when I get home from work - before I sit down and turn on the shiny internets.

By the time I get through that it’ll be time to do the front again. On the plus side, I won’t have to pay the big bucks for them fancy yoga classes – my muscles are getting stretched quite enough.

Am off to Bunnings tomorrow. I hope they have the poo converter too!

Ooh let me know if they do! I think a dog poo converter will be the next thing on my garden-related wishlist.

Eh, it's just a worm farm, except you feed the worms exclusively on (old, not fresh) dog poo - you can't mix their diet apparently.

Oh bother! I want one you can put fresh (ie smelly) dog poo in. I might have to look up info on those doggy latrine things. I saw one in a pet shop once.

Someone should make a dung beetle farm or something.

It's because the vermicide used to worm dogs lives in the poo for a while.
