Unless you want to cut yourself to bits - you'll have to pick it all up!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Not the best of things to have in the plot. Thing is you're always going to have to be careful, you'll never find it all. There was a small amount of my plot when I took it on about 5 years ago - I'm still finding the odd bit.

If your's was covered - oh dear. Sympathies.

i had a similar problem with the 'compost heap', glass heap more like, enough glass for 2 greenhouses all mixed in, cleared about a dozen bin liner size bags from it to get rid of all the glass, metal, clothes etc etc, anything but compost.  Just about all cleared now and waiting for me to build my compost bins x3 from pallets.

Used to be indecisive, now i'm not so sure...

I too have lots of glass on my plot, mostly around my greenhouse but it is proving a nightmare to clear. It also keeps slitting the bin bags I am filling full of bindweed roots.

 :cry:

Grannie, i am liking those, excellent job.  Like the way you have extended the height.  Seeing the pics has prompted a question, with the openings between the slats does the heap get warm enough?  Do you think i should try and cover the gaps with wood or not, i cannot decide what is best, obviously not covering them is easiest. Thoughts?

Grannie, your pic enthused me to get on with it so i made 2 bins today from pallets, got to pick up some more for a third bin as one will be taken up with manure for a year or so.  Have to say mine do not look as expertly put together as yours but they will do the job. I nailed a couple of old fence panels i had to the back where the wind blows to try and stop it cooling the heaps too much, otherwise left the pallet gaps as they come.
