We recently acquired a branch and leaf shredder and a chainsaw. We moved into a new house about two years ago, the initial garden that was planted here were truly beautiful, the old lady who's garden it was just let it go, and did no maintain it at all. I believe we have around 20 big trees in the garden, who had years of free reign, most of them looked like bushes and not like trees. There are a few fruit trees as well that need their annual trimming.
As we started opening up the trees the heaps of branches just kept piling higher and higher. It was costing us to much to have it removed, thus we made another plan. Enter my friend the shredder.
On the sides of our property we now have Privet hedges, as it was intended, not the three meter tall privet trees we found when me moved in here. We also have a big Wattle tree that blew over and needed to be chopped up and removed.
The best benefits of the shredder are; the leaves goes into the compost hole, and the wood chunks that remain, goes to fill up the beddings. These chunks keep the soil moist, and it is a great way to fill up spaces and make your garden look neat and complete.
We have not even finished all the Privets yet, but Rome was not built in a day, surely this saying goes for a beautiful garden as well.
. It probably get's the most use.
