Not such a nice find
Wasn't sure which category to post this in.. Any way..
I just came back from the nursery with a lovely 8ft Prunus Amanogawa. Began digging out a good size hole for it and what do we find? Large amount of thick blue plastic and some weird thick fluffy fibre. Turned out to be a dead dog and his bedding. LOVELY. But, this is actually illegal here. No idea what to do about it, husband has double bagged it. We could get in trouble if we put it in the rubbish.
Why do people do this? Putting plastic stopped it decomposing decently and the smell was horrendous. If they had laid it to rest as is with some lime on it then it might have been only bones and hair. Was also too shallow. But..
I have a lovely new tree and the bees are straight on it. Just got to deal with the stinking remains of pooch

Most of my mums dogs and cats have been buried under a fruit tree. My dads ashes were also scattered there. She had a lovely crop of apples last year.
