Unfortunatley I just bought a garden shredder from B&Q (one of their
£90 powerperformance range), and am a tad disappointed....it was for
cutting up hedge trimmings.
It can do small things like leaves ok, but once you start feeding
stems in, the stems dont get fed through all the way but a few inches
stick in the inlet box and tend to block it all up...it looks like
they shred down to a few inches long, turn horizontal, and catch other
stuff put in.
Any quick answers to feeding stems (up to 1cm across), or are these
just junk?
Has anyone tried putting in a narrow tube to the inlet to feed the
stems better?
