It wasn't very good at finer things. They would often go through without
even being touched. That was ok on fern leaves as I could bundle them but
not on some others. Green stuff it wasn't so good on or knobly stuff (ie
wood with knobs on at the base of the branches) cos the feeder hole was
small. It was quiet though!


My Bosch 2000 does a good job of chopping and squishing everything and
makes very good compost / mulch.

But I can't say it's perfect on green stuff - you have to be careful how
much you give it, or it jams up with leaves. Green hazel is a particular
problem.

It can cope with small knobbles, but again tends to jam on large knots.

I suspect I should have bought a rather more powerful model, given the
amount of hazel hedging I have here!
