If you call a garden your own, you often have your own composting place. This is not only allowed, it is also desired. This is how you can turn even rotting materials back into useful soil. And everyone realizes that it is very environmentally friendly. But it can happen that you have a composting area in the garden that bothers the neighbor and then becomes a point of contention .
In this case, is there anything to consider, such as the place where the compost is placed or a possible distance to the neighbor's property? The legislature answers these questions with a blanket “no”. Anyone who creates a composting area in the garden does not have to accept any restrictions.
Size and location are freely selectable
The location can be freely selected as well as the size. You cannot defend yourself against an odor nuisance, you have to accept it. Nevertheless, there are always judgments that prohibit an extreme odor nuisance and you have to put the compost somewhere else. However, it is not possible to say in general what is meant by extreme harassment.
Flies and bugs don't have to be tolerated
If flies and other bugs are attracted by the compost and bother the neighbors, things look a little different. It is best to set up the compost as far away from the neighboring property as possible. This saves you a lot of trouble.
