Shredder for Holly clippings
wrote in message
... We're about to move house and one of the first jobs I will have to do is trim the holly hedge that surrounds the property. It's a bit of a monster, probably about 50m in length and about 3m tall so is going to produce a ton of clippings which I will need to dispose of. I was thinking of shredding them to save space but most of the shredder reviews I've seen don't seem to work too well on fresh/green stuff and I really don't want this lying around for weeks whilst I wait for it to go brown! Can anyone recommend a shredder that will cope with the fresh clippings and the odd thicker branch but will also not break the bank. I suppose the only other alternative is to burn them, does holly burn well ? Thanks ============================================== We have a Bosch AXT Rapid 2200. That with a 20 litre x 26 cm high and 37 cm diam plastic pot under the chute, works a treat on all sorts out of our mixed hedge, including Holly and Bay and general prunings. Easy to clear when it gets blocked and easy to sharpen the blades. Blades are double sided so when one side gets blunt just turn them over. I had 4 spare blades and have a good old sharpening session every so often. Works hard even though we only have a small garden, we take in neighbours trimmings and shred them for the compost. Highly recommended I would have another one tomorrow. Had an internal plate 'thing' break, went on the Internet, found the drawings and part number, ordered it and fitted it with minimum of trouble Had a JCB before. They should have stuck to their tractor shovels Mike --------------------------------------------------------------- www.friendsofshanklintheatre.co.uk |
