Wood Chipper

Got myself a wood chipper while on vacation and spent some time grinding down some tree branches that had accumulated from some various yard work over the summer. Typically we have been burning this type of stuff in a barrel in the back yard, but with the limited rain we've had this season I haven't dared to set the pile on fire - and therefore the pile just keeps getting bigger! As well, we have been buying mulch to use around the bottom of some of our trees and in our gardens which just seemed silly given the amount of mulch we have been burning in the form of clippings. Anyway, the chipper works well and is very satisfying to operate - makes a very manly sound and successfully makes big things smaller. It is an electric unit, so the generator I bought during the last power outage works very well at powering the chipper on-site down in the trees where the clippings are generated - eliminating the additional step of dragging it out of the woods and around back to the fire barrel - now we just load the big stuff into the little trailer and tow it to the back barrel. All in all, looks like it will be a good buy...
