It was trying very hard to snow, on and off, but I wasn't to be put off! Although I did think someone was against me when we had a power cut after 15 minutes of shredding. At first I had a terrible feeling that I'd tripped our electrics, but lots of house alarms were going off. Then I worried that I'd tripped the whole of the street! But it was a power cut.
Knowing how easily willow takes root, I decided to put the chippings in the bin rather than composting it. I've saved a few wands so I can weave something out of them.
That's what is left of our willow tree and my fab shredder! Instead of getting lots of little things for Christmas, I asked everyone for vouchers to buy the shredder. I love it! The first thing I shredded was our Christmas tree. Then our neighbours at the back of the house cut their Leylandii drastically so we had 6 ft trunks in our garden which got shredded in no time.
All of my woody prunings will get shredded and put in the compost bin so it won't take them as long to rot down.
Happy gardening!
