If you that have a small garden or yard at your home, disposing of unwanted garden waste can be a chore – especially if your local government does not offering yard waste recycling options. Often, homeowners will bring the waste to the local transfer station or burn it in the yard. A better option would be to re-use that organic matter! This can be done in many ways and can also help you keep your flowers, plants, and vegetable garden in great condition.

By shredding, chipping or breaking down your organic garden waste, you will be able to turn green items into mulch or compost. If you don’t have use for it you can offer it to neighbors or friends or even sell it locally! You can purchase a small chipper shredder unit that will help you with the job of turning small branches, leaves and plants into much smaller pieces. A chipper unit will also allow you to break down smaller branches or twigs which can be used to decorate your garden as wood chip.

If you have a few trees in your garden, you will be well aware of the need to pick up the fallen leaves in the fall. If you want to save time and effort a small electric leaf shredder will work wonders on the leaves, turning them from a large pile of unwanted waste into a manageable bag of shredded material. Shredded leaves are also excellent for adding to your compost bin or for making a mulch with.

There are many reasons for owning a small chipper shredder as they are possibly one of the most useful pieces of gardening and yard equipment you can buy and are reasonably affordable. Some run on electricity too which makes it easier and quicker to use rather than relying on having to use a generator or get petrol for the motor. Stop by your local home & garden shop today and see these great machines for yourself!
