On a side-track:
Is it safe to put dandelions, nettles and buttercups through a
shredder and use the results as a mulch, or will that just be an
efficient way of propagating weeds?

Franz

I don't because of the attendant soil, I find green sappy stuff will rot
without shedding, weeds such as you describe I just leave on the surface to
die.
I am also a recent convert to the Bosch shredder, had an ATCO for 18 years
and was pleased with it but the Bosch is way better.
