In my neck of the woods Down Under it is against the law to do any burning off. The authorities can do hazard-reduction burn-offs to lessen the risk of bushfires.

No more fires for us this year at the allotments after end of March!

Consequently I smell like a kipper after having a big bonfire this evening.

Another bonfire planned for the weekend and then that will be it!

I love the smell of kippers Snadger... can I have a sniff

We are allowed fires all year round after 6.30 and all day weekends but it's not like there's loads of fires going at the same time.

We're allowed fires as long as the neighbours don't complain - but they are on 4 sides of the plots so someone is bound to get smoke whichever way the wind blows. The only good fire is on a hot windless day. When no-one has washing out.

It was the smell of the smoke that woke me up, Binley - I love the smell of a good bonfire!

Twisted Firestarter!......Not much flammable left on our site after the last couple of days.

**Liza** · 18-03-2010, 06:43 AM

Were not allowed bonfires on our site !

This has given me a good idea for the weekend. I'll have my fire on top of the bean trench/circle (where I build my wigwam for the runners) and then dig in the wood ash. Hope this would be beneficial? I'd best go check unless someone can advise please?

**Paulottie** · 18-03-2010, 08:30 AM

No so good an idea to sterilize the ground plus Woodash valuable stuff ...used for fruiting crops...normally toms. Beans normally have a big hole dug and all the rubbish buried to create a reservoir as they like wet toes.

My previous site banned bonfires May- Sept because it was peat based and on a few occasions the peat caught fire 4ft below the surface- and travelled from one plot to another underground!!!!

I've got to get burning before the end of march too. Funny thing is in the summer months we are not allowed fires but we are allowed barbeques, not quite sure how that works
