Chipper/shredders?
I had a JCB :-(
They should stick to Diggeers Gave it away. Mike "Christina Websell" wrote in message ... "Tim Watts" wrote in message ... 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! I have a JCB electric shredder, it will eat broomhandle sized branches all day, but it doesn't like fresh. As long as I let prunings dry out it chomps them happily. If I try to put them through green it blocks up. Tina |

It's not difficult with a large garden to dry prunings and then it chomps them like a good un. I then use the results in my chicken run for them to scratch around in and poo on, and after a while of that I clean it all out and put on my veggie plot. Supreme recycling, eh? Tina |
