Garden Shredders

[jjat8cvParticipant]

I do not possess a lawn mower (no grass). I am looking for a shredder that would chop up broad bean plants, potato halms, dwarf and runner bean plants etc as well as, if possible, brassica stalks to put on my compost heap. Due to a shoulder injury I find this difficult to do by hand. I do have a few small woody shrubs which I have to prune but it is not essential to do these in the shredder. Any suggestions would be more than welcome

Hi. I looked in to this idea as a way of preparing composting ingredients for the heap and possibly processing rotted cow manure to make it easier to spread on beds in autumn; it often comes in huge lumps!

However, the price of a good quality unit that will handle this stuff was around the five to six hundred pound mark – bit too much outlay at present. There are cheaper units but I doubt they would manage your brassica stems.

I just bought a Bosch for £385 but no time to use it yet,shall let you know.
