Welcome!

It's not uncommon for Bulgarians working, or with friends living, in the UK to import RHD vehicles. They're also often in no rush to register them once they're here...  😎

IIWY, I'd compost the grass etc - it'll come in handy; Lidl regularly sell the plastic compost bins or you can always knock one up easily enough

Welcome, we’re over near varna on the coast so not too far, if you need any advice pm me, have been coming here on and off for over 20 years so sort of know about most things by now lol..

well take care, Rgds Ozzy

@JimJ

Composting isn't really an option for us as we will be in and out of the country month in month out type of thing. We will be going down the route of very low maintenance garden areas to make life easier and keep on top of.

I'm wary of composting bins and attracting vermin / rats etc.

Thanks Ozzy!

Good luck with your Bulgarian adventure!

I would go with composting your garden waste, as @JimJ suggested. Composting only attracts rodents if you include food waste. Piles of sticks might attract snakes, so unless you want snakes to eat the rodents, do avoid that near your house or areas where you'll be sitting outdoors.

What I did was just stack it all up in an out-of-the-way part of the garden, give it a good soak with water, and let it rot down. The first autumn at our house (not permanently lived in yet) I created a pile taller than me of weeds and twigs and leaves. When I went back in spring it was 6" high! No mess, no smell, no work, no unwanted critters.

It's amazing how fast the grass and weeds grow in Bulgaria, and if like us at present while we wait for our D visia you're only visiting once a month,  disposing of the garden waste will be an ongoing issue. Composting it will make life easier for you! If you don't like the look of the plastic bins, you can buy square wooden ones.

Alternatively the village might have an official area where clean waste can be deposited. You'd want to check with the mayor's office first to ensure you weren't accidentally fly-tipping on someone else's land!
