Shredding makes things compost quicker
by Sarah - June 2nd, 2011.Filed under: Suttons Seeds.
If you shred your hedge cuttings before putting them on the compost heap then they will rot down quicker.
Shreddings also take up less room. You can use shreddings on some beds and borders directly.
Suttons Seeds have this shredder that’s well worth looking at !

Shredding is a simple and environmentally friendly way to dispose of garden rubbish, and create a super organic mulch for beds and borders. The AL-KO Silent Power SP5000 shredder has a kickback-free feeder mechanism and a hardened steel gear that “pulls” the material through, crushing it silently and safely (because the material is crushed the rate of decomposition is accelerated, leading to quicker composting!).
