Mulching The Easy Way...

By using mulch on your garden you will help prevent the germination of weeds and other undesirable plant growth. Mulching can also help to protect against soil erosion from the elements.

The addition of a thick layer of mulch in your flower bed will regulate soil temperature by cooling down soil during the summer time and insulating it during the colder months.

Furthermore mulch helps to stimulate the growth of organisms in the soil, including worms, that improves the soil quality whilst increasing the amount of nutrients in the soil.

Patriot CSV-2515 14 Amp Electric Wood Chipper...

If you're searching for a top end electric wood chipper the Patriot Products CSV-2515 14 is a real workhorse and could be just what you need. This unit will chip branches up to 2 1/2 inches in diameter, and is well suited for shredding leaves.

It plugs directly into your standard 110 volt outlet. You will require a good heavy-duty extension cord of less than 100 ft due to the fact this chipper draws 14 amps of electricity. The electric chipper shredder weighs in at under 100 pounds and features large wheels for convenient transport around your home and back garden.

The Patriot CSV-2515 received the National Home Gardening Club Member Tested Seal-of-Approval. and in the summer of 2009 was rated a "Best Buy" by Consumers Digest magazine. This honor is granted to fewer than 3% of the products tested, and the Patriot chipper has received this honor for a SECOND time.

Personal Observations...

This Patriot electric chipper shredder is a solidly built unit, and being electric you simply flip a switch to turn it on and off, which is more convenient than one with a gas engine, but of course not quite as powerful. It's also significantly quieter than one with a gas engine.

It's powerful enough to produce fine wood chips but doesn't shred the greenstuff quite as well. In actual fact, the shredder is the easiest to clog.

I must admit I tried a palm frond in the shredder opening and it did clog the machine. So I just pull the fronds apart and put them through the chipper instead. The shredder is good for dry twigs and leaves whilst the chipper will deal with most everything else.
