Hi,

I did read this:

http://www.u-r-g.co.uk/shredder.htm

but if I was looking for a shredder/chipper to handle odd branches and lots
of hawthorn clippings, which would be a good model?

The purpose is to have less bulk and more ready to compost material.

Electric is OK. Bosch have a few that will do (claimed) up to 4cm or so
thick branches. I will have a few of those, but mostly I'm looking to deal
with a wheelie bin packed solid with finer clippings from mainly a hawthorn
hedge.

Will any of the consumer ones be useful rather than a PITA? Last time I used
a chipper it was a full sized hire one - as in "stuff in an entire 3"
hawthorn trunk with branches and watch as the hydraulic power feed sucked it
to its doom".

Cheers!

Tim

When did Which? start advertising products?

Strictly speaking, never. But nowadays the word "strictly" has to be included

More ethically tricky, IMHO, is that they allow
products to advertise they are "which? best buy", e.g.
