Wow - fun with new chipper!
I acquired my first wood chipper today. What a fantastic toy! I spent four
hours sredding branches from some overgrown bushes that I heavily pruned last week. Ended up with a fantastic quantity of good mulch. After that, I shredded some seaweed I had gathered a few days ago. That will make it much more suitable for brew-creating purposes. I'm trying to think of some less-obvious things one might be able to turn into mulch, with the help of one of these machines. Does anyone have any ideas? Do you use your garden shredder for any other purposes, apart from making wood-chip mulch? TIA, Al |

It does seem to be harder going than 1" branches, so dont put too much in at once. NT |

I think that's what I've got. Here is a pictu http://tinyurl.com/7z9duvg The shredding mechanism looks like a 4" diameter gear wheel with hardened edges to the teeth. It turns slowly (about 60 rpm) and drags the branches (up to about 35mm thick) in, and chews them up. The seller advised not to put my hand in there; can't think why. ;-) Wish I had the original manual for it, just in case there are any important maintenance jobs that need doing periodically. Al |

Also, how does that gadget cope with the occasional stone or nugget of brick that inevitably finds its way into the compost bin? It's down to technique I suppose. Depends on what I'm sieving: - bought compost - I fill it up from the bag and sieve the lot nicely in about 30 secs. No worms to worry about. It's ok for multi-purpose but if you use one of the types that contain more substantial bits (such as Westland's West+) it'll just remove them so no point using it. - anything else gets added in bits until I've got about a 3" deep pile in the gizmo. Worms are no problem as easily seen and removed as I'm adding. I use dalek type composters and by the time I remove stuff from the bottom of those there are few worms left as they always like to go up in the world to the fresher stuff. If I'm sieving soil I'm more likely to halve a worm with the spade than in the gizmo. It probably takes longer to empty out what isn't going to go through the mesh than to get a load through it. It is quick to use. I just keep filling it until I reach a point where stuff that's not going through the sieve gets a bit much when it's tipped out either back into the compost dalek, onto ground or into a bag if I want to get rid of some stony bits. Any stone up to the size of a golf ball will be no problem - the rotor bits are round so anything that won't go through the sieve under them simply rolls over them or gets pushed around a bit. It's great for producing a fine tilth for a seed bed. Fraction of the time it would take to fork over my clay soil. It's sturdy and, after God knows how many years of heavy use there's not even a chip in the powder coating. But as I've said, I don't know if I'd pay over £40 for one today.

I know £40+ is a bit expensive (I've seen the same tool at £50 btw), but if it's that useful and as sturdy as you suggest, then I may look around for a good price.

TIA, I went a bit berserk with my shredder when I first had it, but it's not a big fancy one, it's a JCB ordinary garden type model. I soon found out that it did not like small fresh prunings which would jam it, and it was a hell of a job to relocate the screw to get the top back on after the jam was cleared. I wouldn't dare put seaweed in it. Having said that, now I know the beast, it happily chomps away at any prunings I've allowed to dry out. It's preferred prey would be broom handles, anything that sort of diameter and length disappears in a flash. I use the results for mulch and also in my chicken runs for the birds to scratch around in. What sort is yours? Maybe a bit more industrial than mine? Tina |

My advice is not to overface it in your enthusiasm of having a new toy. I'm surprised you got away with putting seaweed through it, having read this, tbh. Do try not to jam it with lots of green or inappropriate stuff because even when (of course) you switch it off first, that wheel can spin back when it's freed and give you seriously cut fingers. It happened to me once, when I first got it because I thought it was a miracle machine and I could throw pretty much anything in it. Unfortunately, that ain't so.
