Gardener

The colour bins system is different depending on what county you live in.Here, you pay for the brown 'garden waste' bin, but don't put soil in it [why would you anyway?]Looks like you need a word with your gardener Flower as he should be breaking up the clods and putting them somewhere in your garden.

Grass cutting /dead leaves/flowers cuttings only allowed in our brown bin any soil is used to bank up around the tree's in the front path I would have thought gardener man would have known this maybe he was hoping it would be collected before you arrived back home.

We have a green bin for garden waste and are advised that soil on the roots of plants deposited there is OK as long as there are no stones.

I don't think the green waste people would be too chuffed either. He is supposed to remove as much soul as possible.

Oh dear, but yes I was confused too. Where I live brown bins are for dead leaves, plants, grass cuttings, but probably not heavy soil.

I was a bit confused too Granny23
Flower what is the gardener supposed to do with the clods of earth?
And I'm not clear what your brown bin is for - is it normal rubbish, recycling or garden waste?

I'm presuming that the 'with' in line 3 should be a 'when' and that you are not in fact having very 'dirty weekends' away with Mr Gardener.
