How do garden shredders work? Comprised of a chute to deposit your garden waste and an opening, or collection bag in which shredded materials are ejected. On its way from one to the other, your garden waste passes through a series of blades (or in some cases cutting wire), which cut it up into mulch. From there it is the perfect size and consistency for composting or simply for disposal, reducing the volume of the waste into a more manageable size. It is for this reason that shredders are also referred to as compost shredders.
Why use a garden shredder? If you’re an avid gardener, then you’ll almost certainly be aware of the plethora of benefits associated with using mulch and compost. Instead of buying mulch, why not just make your own? That’s where the garden shredder comes in, simply processing all of the green waste and thin tree branches from your garden into a nutrient rich mulch, perfect for mulching your trees and plants, or simply creating a compost pile for future use. This invaluable machine allows you to recycle and reuse your own garden waste, making it an incredibly worthy purchase.
