Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Holly burns lovely mate .Get yourself a metal 45 gal drum .Put holes in the bottom with a pick axe and burn bit by bit .Not enough to shred tbh but too much to get in a green bin . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
