Getting rid of rubbish is one of the things we need to deal with along the way. Different places have different facilities and some recycling can be hard to get rid of. There is some inconsiderate dumping and littering around the canal, but you can’t always tell. Something could be accidental or bagged rubbish could have been ripped open by a scavenging animal. We try to get rid of compostable/biodegradable rubbish in a random hedge or, better still, a bed of nettles.This is harder in the city. Once out of the centre of London I was in need of a place to dispose of it. We were moored beside some sparse vegetation by a wall with no huge hedge or nettlebed, but there was one bigger plant, and I thought a little could go there. On closer inspection I found it was a tomato plant. Someone surely threw some veggie scraps here before. It was a bit of a rubbish place to leave lot of peelings though, so I had a look around.
