Seriously! That is what our new chipper/shredder is called. Awesome huh?
It has a 4 stroke engine and starts very easily. It made short work of various bits of tree we have hanging around. After a few limbs were taken off with the new axe (thanks Lorna and Aidan)
We bought it because we need to keep the branches over the drive trimmed and we will have branches to deal with when we cut trees down for firewood. The previous owner just shoved all the branches off the paths slightly and left them but we are keen to be tidier than that and will use the chips for compost, mulch on paths in the potager and in the chicken coop.
It came from an exciting shop called Univert which had many many useful machines, most of which we cannot afford.
But we splashed out for a mini apple/grape juicer as well in the hope that a few of the apple trees will survive being attacked by the sheep and let us make apple juice and perhaps cider. It is 4 litres (this photo rather lacks scale)
