I have just had the salutary experience of a skip only absorbing about half as much brashing as expected, despite careful packing. SO I may need another skip, or an alternative. So I am starting to wonder about shredders, for better packing next time and to be able to fit a lot more into the garden waste bin. My need is to be able to shred material from hedges and trees up to the size I can cut myself ... if it is a big tree the treeman will bring a tow along shredder. Mine needs to go in the back of a car. As far as I can see for electrics there are a lot of shredders with 50l or so collector bins with power around 2500w, which can style themselves 'quiet'. AN example may be the Makita UD2500, and a *lot* seem to have the same chopper mechanism. A!ongst these lighter duty ones, a Qualcast is available at £99 - 40% off - from Argos. http://www.argos.co.uk/product/7305100 At the other end there is something like the Bosch AXT 25 TC, with three times the throughput using a Multibladed Turbine mechanism which is more robust, and quieter, but typically costs £400. Best deal I can see is £379 including a free pair of loppers. http://www.garden4less.co.uk/bosch-quiet-garden-shredder-2500W-axt-25-tc.asp PEtrol ones seem to be quite a lot more, and I am not sure if they go in a car. Comments and recommendations are very welcome. Ferdinand
