Brief History: When I moved to Hertfordshire I remade the small garden and put in some raspberries, various currants and goosberries. I leave ...

Shredders

I am clearing a half-plot (next to my established half) which has not been dug or cleared for about three years. This obviously produces a lot of material, which I thought would benift from shredding/chipping before I put it into a compost heap. This would be a hired item as I doubt if there would b...
