I too would be interested in news about chipper-shredders. I WANT to use
one, to make great mulch from oak leaves, and also to handle other leaves
and small twig debris for my compost pile.
I also have access to such a waste of oak leaves on two estates where I
work/design gardens, etc. They are just dumped over the hillside at both
places. What I wouldn't give to have those chopped oak leaves on my beds at
home!
more, more, please!
