Just want to share a personal anecdote. My dad, when he was in his 40s and 50s, use to dig a big hole in his backyard every second autumn. This is his landfill where he puts all the biodegradable material from his household and his garden. This includes the autumn leaves, kitchen waste and lawns cuttings. Now his plants and flowers that are growing on top of it are thriving and looks great. I guess these were the days the local councils were less concern on what we were putting into the environment. Nowadays, I won't be surprise if he would get a big fine for doing this.
