Garden Shredder, which one?

TVSetup

Hello everyone,

I am looking for some advise. I am thinking about buying a garden shredder. I am unsure what to buy. I have some small hedging branches and greenery to shred. Last year I pruned the garden but without a shredder I had to haul it all to the recycling center. Was OK, 2euro to dump the lot but it is a waste of stuff I could be composting for the garden and the car was a mess after it.

Has anyone bought a shredder later and advise me...

Hi i got a ryobi one a couple of months ago to do some cuttings off branches. i think its this model http://www.woodiesdiy.com/productdetail.aspx?pid=7713&loc=P&catid=102.13
To be totally honestly i wasnt overly impressed. it tended to chip the woodier stuff well alright so long as it wasnt too thick, but i found the greener stuff that bends instead of snaps just went through it. I got pretty much what i wanted done but i have my doubts over their longetivity. i think it might be better to heap it up and hire an industrial chipper and fire the lot into it. Either that or look to borrow one off someone to give them a go and see what you think yourself. Good Luck!
