I tried, maybe using a different method, and got the following:

Don't know if that's the same one you got. There seems to be some
good advice the I don't use them myself, but I reckon second-hand
is a good idea, as many people seem to buy them because they think
you have to for some reason (you don't, of course), and then quietly
get rid of them a few years later, barely used.

For more threads, try: Advanced groups search, uk.rec.gardening
in "from the group" box, shredder in the "where the subject-line
contains" box. (For some Googly reason I couldn't paste the URL:
sorry.)


What does the shredder have to do for its living?

The idea of a shredder appeals two-fold -quicker composting ,and also there
seems to be a very good argument for mulching. We have90 yds.privet (which
I'm gradually taking out) with a lot of unknown blackthorn/wild
plum/greengauge sort of things-one of which has been allowed in the past to
become a tree with a 2ft.+diameter trunk. Thanks for replies.
