Liverwort has been worse than ever this year. We just roll it up like a carpet from the tubs that are not emptied and I cover the veg patch with a tarpaulin every year. This stops the blessed stuff and keeps the seeds from the bird feeder from sprouting allsorts. We had ganga come up one year. To dispose we lay it out on paper to dry out and burn it.(not the ganga) *_* Never add to a composter or compost heap.
I put the liverwort into the bin, I didn't burn it.
That'll do Tills. Up here the "bin" gestapo would be all over you like a rash. We had other stuff to incinerate so it was no problem. Had a cracking day up here and have potted on loads of stuff and got it out into the temporary cloche/mini greenhouse. .Plus I finally cut down and fixed the fire door blank for my workbench. Work of art it is. Going to be very warm next week, by the looks, so I hope to get some stuff in the ground as it should be ready. Bird feeder is coming down, for another year, and I can turn over and compost the veg corner.
Why are you taking down the bird feeder, Togo?
We have a 'green' garden bin. All garden rubbish goes in it. No queries.
Where we live Tills there is plenty of natures bounty for the birds, and I honestly feel that our helping hand in the winter is enough. The birds need to be able to fend for themselves and not become reliant on an unnatural food supply. They all look healthy and well. I do not feel the need for "tame" birds about the place, plus the visits have become less by the day since the weather warmed up. We supply water and a bath when the weather( if ever) becomes dry and hot. No over funded social care supplied here Tills. (*_^)
Finally got my onions in (340), after weeks of waiting. Dug a trench for new asparagus bed. Picked some purple sprouting broccoli, which was lovely.
Thanks, Chipchopper. I wouldn't weep too much if it died, but it is very useful ground-cover and fronts a road used by a lot of tractors etc., which it withstands. I knew about the sap, thanks again for the reminder.

ground is still too splodgy to get on here. I estimate another 4 or 5 days of dry weather needed before I can do anything. I have got some lavender plugs doing nicely though and a load of lily of the valley pips to plant.
