You must get a lot of material to dispose of, do you have the space to compost it or does it go to the municipal incinerator?

yes, I bring everything to companies engaged in waste disposal.

I used to cut grass at one time, and hated the idea of simply throwing it out. I got some of my regular customers to let me build them compost heaps so at least I knew it would go back into the land. Lawn mowings don't compost that well on their own, but I used to get a fair bit of casual work from people who had let things get out of hand, so there was some longer, mature grass to mix with them.

yes, you're right, but most of my clients have nowhere to sell mown grass, so they have to take everything out.

had one like that, wrapped a chain around the base, attached it to my SUV and pulled it out.

I saw something like this on YouTube, then it flew into the car

It is not a great solution, it puts the carbon straight into the atmosphere as CO2. If you are going to do it I would recommend drying stuff out first and using an incinerator that gives good air flow so it burns hot. That will lead to less particulates (smoke), not just a smelly nuisance locally, but adding to the greenhouse and carcinogenic effect of pollutants generally. It may seem like one little fire won't matter, but these things add up, I can remember thick 'pea souper' smogs when I was a boy, caused by many small household fires. I don't think London has seen one of them since the clean air act. Ultimately everyone in the world breaths the same air.

We burn here. We all burn here. its the way of life here. big properties, mean lots of fallen stuff, so we all burn. some have huge piles of burning twigs, limbs, and leaves can see from a distance all the burning going on. its awesome. Its better to burn than to pile all the limbs and sticks in plastic bags to the curb with will take mother nature forever to break down if she ever does. I hate seeing those wasted plastic toys kids use and discard to the rubbish, more plastic for poor mother nature. its an awesome solution--to burn.

guess that was a not experienced person, poor soul, mine just came out gently and I dragged it some.

if I need to get rid of more branches or trees up to 10cm thick, then I use my crusher.

yes, it's good, when the hedge cutting season starts for me, it's the end of July, then sometimes I just don't have time to mow my lawn.

My property is considered wooded, thus lots of very tall trees, 150 feet tall, we had 6 taken down about 6 summers ago. Grass in a shaded situation grows slowly, even grass made for shade. The first job before cutting grass is taking the wheel barrel about and getting fallen branches, twigs, sometime a good limb after a storm. I may come away with 4 trips to the burn pile before I can start the ridding mower. Don't have the typical hedges, but have many blooming shrubs that take turns through the year. So I am pruning each when they are done in a round about fashion . If you wish you can see my gardens on a You Tube Channel under Estherredstar channel.

thank you, yes, you have a really big garden, it really requires a lot of attention, I saw a lot of snow in one video in winter, too, I myself lived in Siberia in Russia before moving to Germany, and frankly I don't miss the snow at all

we usually have two really nice snow falls. its all about preparing for snow. Enough food and wine in the house. We now also have a whole house generator incase a storm blows out the electric. Make sure cars all have full gas tanks. And just hunker down and enjoy a good book. Or in my case trying to find things to get rid of in my house. too much stuff. LOL. I do like a good snow fall, makes things so quiet.

well, of course it's very cool when there is a really good snowfall, I also like this, but where I lived in Siberia there from January to the end of February the temperature reached -50 degrees Celsius

yes, have seen pictures of Siberia and its lengthy snow, certainly a place for hardy souls. The coldest I have lived through was 15 below zero Fahrenheit when I lived in Ohio on my fathers farm. It does get very cold there. It will begin to snow November and never go away until about mid March. Those were the days feeding the farm animals, tossing the feed on my shoulders from the truck to the barn though snow etc. We had 45 acres. Dad and mom passed on years ago, some of the property was divided out. The original farm house still stands on 5 acres, sold long ago.
