Theirs will be made of bio-degradable plant fibres. You will need to use the conservative ones, they will be made of plastic.

Which is why 'Freegans' operate under the cover of darkness.

One of my friends got into a really heated confrontation with a local farmer .. he was picking wild blackberries in a hedgerow next to a public footpath ... the farmer went ballistic apparently. Said it was his hedge, the fruit was his and there was no right to pick them .. threatened to call the Police and made him chuck the ones he had picked back into the hedge.

There must have been some underlying reason for this outburst .. perhaps people had been damaging his hedges to get to the fruit or perhaps stealing crops out of his fields ? Who knows ? The farmer, however, was in the wrong.

The law on wild fruit (or fungi) picking allows people to pick wild fruit even if they don't own the land the wild fruit is growing on .. as long as it is for their own use. If it's going to be used for commercial purposes - it's an offence.

Equally, it has to be growing wild .. if you pick the fruit off a neighbours tree that is overhanging your property .. that's theft !

The law is sometimes very perverse isn't it ? But, the problem is rarely the Law ... it's people seeking to use it that's the problem.
