He loves it! Says it's far quieter than the old one, is quick and efficient and he had no problems with soft stuff. But, he said, it doesn't cut into as small pieces as the other did.
I'm happy, I didn't hear him using it at all and when I looked at the shreddings I was happy too. I'll spread them directly on the ground, the hens will turn them over and over and by next year they'll be incorporated into the soil.

No shit?
That comes with hens and accelerates the process.

I bought poultry pellets once. Never again! They stank.

Hi Mary,
Which model did you end up with and where did you buy it from??
TIA
Bob

My wife bought some a few years ago with the trade name "Rooster". Kinda falls into the category of "what it says on the tin".
I had some last year - a bit coals to Newcastle but the sack was given to me. It is almost odourless. No idea how it works though. Henure, I think it was called. Not at all offensive to handle either.

The stuff we had wasn't particularly smelly -- I liked the clarity of the name, though...
Could have been worse.

One presumes this name isn't refering to the power output of the motor :-)
Is this a snanifio we are talking about here, Mary?
I did wonder that! Even a little donkey could prove the equivalent of this machine - but it's not a commercial one and is moe than adequate for a garden.
I checked it very carefully when I typed it, I guess the 2000 is the revs. No idea what HP is, not Hewlett Packard, not Hire Purchase ... Harry Potter?

Ah! Obvious, really, thanks :-)

I too have heard good reports of the Rampant Rabbit. :-)
Ah, now I know what you're on about! I have one of those, except I get by with the 1600 version. Boy, is it quiet compared to my old Alko - which was also dangerous as it sometimes spat branches back out again. Since the move I no longer have a need for my Bosch silent, but one never knows what the next place may have! And anyway the stand comes off so it's not taking up a lot of space in the shed.
MM
Toaster? Potato peeler? Electric plane? Erm... ;-)
David
How did you know about the electric plane?
He loves that too but only flew it once, wind's been too strong since.
Ancient toaster serves adequately, don't peel potatoes. And anyway, I do that, being a good little wifey ...

Please forgive my inattention Mary. I did trawl back through the thread but wanted to make sure.
Thanks Bob
