i'm a nc newbie and have just started reading this newsgroup. here's my
dilema. i just built a house and i've got a little piece of woods that i've
been clearing. i've got about 5 piles of brush, each about 4 feet tall. i
don't have a chipper but would like to chip it all into mulch to keep weeds
down in the woodsy part. i haven't been able to find a chipper to rent.
how big a chipper do i need and where might i find one to rent? the biggest
branch might be 3 inches around. would it be less expensive to have it
hauled away? all opinions welcome and thanks.

Grand Rental Stations are in Cary and Raleigh; they rent the big chippers
for $150 a day. It would definitely pay to check out what a tree service
would charge to chip the 5 piles for you and leave the mulch. Remember
that the new mulch will rob nitrogen from the soil as it decomposes.
