Chipper Shredders
If you want to keep your garden tidy and create your own compost then chipper shredders are the perfect answer.
A garden chipper will turn garden waste such as twigs, tree clippings, and leaves, into small chips. The small chips created by the wood shredders can then be used to add natural nutrients to your garden soil, or be added to your compost heap or bin.
The garden chipper shredder is available in many different sizes and styles. From the mini electric chipper shredder which is ideal for the small garden, to the heavy duty chipper shredder mulcher or tree chipper, you’ll find a shredder chipper that’s perfect for your needs.
Chipper shredders may be powered by electric or they may be gas powered. Whether you choose gas or electric might depend on you having an available power source at hand. Many gardeners opt for electric chippers because there are no fumes from the machine.
The typical electric shredders will handle small branches of just over an inch in diameter, although each individual machine will inform you of its maximum capabilities. An average brush chipper should have no trouble coping with the average amount of garden waste, branches, and brush.
Most of the modern chippers shredders are quieter than the older models, and indeed many manufacturers go to great lengths to create low noise shredders. This is not only good news for you, but also for your neighbors. Look out for things like ‘quiet operation’ in product descriptions.
Many chipper shredders can produce rapid results due to their design, and the best garden chippers will quickly provide you with small pieces of mulch that are ready to use. Often the wood chipper will have more than the average two cutting blades, and this is what helps them produce such excellent results.
A lot of wood chippers shredders have wheels so you can easily transport them to the work area. They may also include a mulch container to catch the shredded chippings.
If you have a very large yard or garden then you may need to consider a larger garden or yard chipper shredder, especially if you have several trees or very large shrubs. The larger garden shredder chipper should be able to cope with larger tree branches.
With well known brands such as McCulloch, Troy-Bilt, and the Patriot chipper shredder, you’ll have a wealth of choice in wood chippers and shredders.
Look at the many chipper shredders, choose the right one for you, and it will save you time on garden maintenance for years to come.
