    24 July 2006. This ten horespower machine is used to chop up all waste foliage. I make a pile of foliage, and when there is enough I wheel the machine out, and chop up the waste. It only takes a few minutes. I use to do this with a machette on a wooden block. It disposes of the branches and waste plants in a clean and quick manner. Unfortunately one has to justify the cost, and it probably wouldn't be economical with a small yard.
    Anyway it is probably easier than taking garden waste products to the dump.

    The amount of composted material is very minimal. All I get is about a cubic yard of garden ready material, which I spread on the garden in the spring. I even get my neighbors grass clippings from two properties. I leave my grass clipping where they fall.

    Durgan.
