Default How do you stop the spread of garden diseases if you cannot burn or send

clippings to land-fill? Dept of Environment restrictions on uncontrolled burning of garden waste has resulted in prosecution and fines for those guilty of having bonfires which are now prohibited.
If the waste disposal co's won't take lge volumes of clippings, etc, how can we stop the spread of diseases such as black spot, mildew, canker, etc in our gardens. It is not safe to compost them as the spores will be spread further afield than normal; once composted. Does this signify the beginning of the end for the proud gardeners in the Republic of Ireland or has someone got a good alternative for me? ( I have a huge garden which is difficult to control at the best of times!)
