Why you can not burn branches on the site and fry barbecue at the stake

Summer picnics, lighthouses, just rest in the country - grace, without which many urban residents simply can not imagine their existence. But along with this, there are other problems that need to be solved immediately. Remove the junk that has appeared in a timely manner, litterBring fresh water in the right amount and so on.



Speaking of trash. In connection with the new rules of fire control in the Russian Federation, adopted on January 1, 2021, it is forbidden to make fires on the territory of households, burn garbage, leaves and branches, as well as use open fire for cooking. Now you will have to use specially equipped places located on the same private property.

In this article we will not breed controversy about the positive and negative aspects of this innovation. But we will try to tell you how an ordinary person can round some corners of the new law, so that it is convenient for everyone: owners of cottages and firefighters. Let's put things in order.

There are especially principled summer residents for whom the letter of the law is above all else. They are ready to support innovation even at the cost of their own and others’ comfort. With such people it is almost impossible to negotiate and even if the smoke does not smell, they will still remain dissatisfied. Their number is not so great, but they will definitely show themselves.



Everyone else can be reached before the season begins. We advise you to go around the neighbors, find out their attitude to this problem. In any case, do not break the word: if you promise that the fire will be bred small and only for the preparation of conditional kebabs, then only do so. If there is an urgent need to burn the leaves, then agree on a specific day when the owners in the neighborhood will be in the city. In 99% of cases, this problem is solved by the usual conversation of respectable neighbors.



Do not forget that different materials burn with different exhaust. The branches and leaves do smoke, but let them stand in the sun for a couple of days - the smoke will be an order of magnitude less. Naturally, synthetic materials, such as plastic and foam, burn very badly: a lot of smoke, stink. They need to be taken out and thrown into dumpsters. Just like nuts, for example. It was unexpected to learn that a couple of dozen unfortunate nuts give a huge amount of stench spreading throughout the county.

Burning leaves is wrong. It is better to make mulch or fertilizer. Depends on the region. Southerners know that using most branches and leaves for mulch is a bad idea. The thing is that on fallen plants often there are diseases and fungi. Phytofluoro, black spot, monoliosis, coccomycosis, rust. These and many other types of fungus affect a large number of useful plants. Their disputes can spread over long distances, which can easily harm the same bubbling neighbors.



This material is definitely better to burn, because it is not suitable even for compost pits. Such a "fertilizer" and the enemy will not want - will poison any root system. In this case, fire is best suited. Time and time again, our advice is to discuss this with our neighbors. Less nerve, more benefit. And then you look and you'll fry barbecues with them.

Dig a hole and throw everything there Despite minor shortcomings, this plan sounds pretty good. For people who have a large area and a lot of strength. But if your cottage is a rickety house and a couple of acres of land, and you come there only for recreation, the option is so. On the other hand, there should be a bit of trash. Such a fire should not smoke if used correctly.



My home is my fortress...I do what I want. This is the other extreme of the same problem. Often these are summer residents with loud music, a large number of people and a disregard for others. It is bad, it is not always possible to agree. But don't give up. The law is the law and you, as an adult, can always appeal to the right authorities.



You're not 13 years old now that you have your own dacha. So legal proceedings won't make you a black sheep among peers. At the end of the day, your taxes are for those kinds of cases.

It is possible to spend a good time in the fresh air under any circumstances. The main thing is not to overstep the line, behave with dignity and get acquainted with neighbors in time. Keep the right amount of water near the fire, burn only the right materials and monitor the amount. Then there will be no complaints against you. We wish you an interesting summer and a good rest.
