Default Garden Shredder Recommendations

Any-old-how, can anyone recommend a garden waste shredder for a fairly
busy garden about 12m wide x 30m long stocked with a variety of shrubs,
bushes and some fruit?


NOT, repeat NOT a JCB. Leave them to build tractors with gadgets on to
trundle along the roads holding up traffic.




And also not a Performance Power from B&Q - it's their disposable range.
From what I heard shredders jam easily, many users recommend going for
the bigger, more expensive (and noisier!) models unfortunately. If
you're not going to use it enough to justify spending hundreds, maybe
you'd be better off renting one: at least it will work correctly and be
properly maintained, without your having to store it the rest of the
year.
