Don't put wood chips in your compost, they suck up too much of something
(nitrogen?) and lower the value of the compost. I generate a lot of
sawdust and wood shavings, thought those would be good around trees for
mulch, a master gardener who was also an accomplished woodworker yelled
NOOOOOOO!!!!

But fails to please SWMBO. There's something to be said for a girl who
understands the value of good compost and mulch.
The small ones are good enough if you have patience and only need it once
in a while for branches. Pretty much any size will shred leaves.
I have been hard on mine and, as to be expected, my 17 year old son is even
harder on it. We are chipping up huge trees that should have been done
with an industrial machine. The maple was about 50 feet and the willow 60
or so.

For those of us without a blacksmith or welding shop, the burn pile works

Look on craigslist in your area. They are plentiful in good running

for $300 or less here.
A note: Been pretty hard on the little Merry Mac lately chipping green
maple. Pulled the blade out of it to touch up the edge and found a crack
in a thinner part of the big chipper wheel. Not a hard fix, just split
it
in half and weld it up when I get a minute. That explains the fighting
with it to chip right lately......the wheel was flexing where the bade
mounts.
So, in short, if you get a small machine and work it hard be prepared for
maintenence on a daily basis.
Oh, had to tighten up bolts that hold on carb and now muffler bolts are
loose. Will get to them when fixing the wheel.

Thanks all ---
SWMBO wants leaves chopped up for the compost heap, and branches
chipped
for walks/mulching.
It doesn't sound like the cheap units are up to the tasks, and the
good
ones will be more than she wants to spend --
