Not being allowed to wield heavy tools like a hedge trimmer I had a go at shrub which was taking over other plants with a pair of secateurs and finished up with a large pile of thin branches.
I've got an Alko shredder which I haven't used for a while and it takes branches up to about 40mm, so I had a go with that.
Absolutely useless and that's why I don't use it.
It would be fine if all the branches were straight but as soon as they become bent or twisted they won't be pushed through.
In the end I used the Council's green recycling bags, cutting the pieces to fit, a much quicker process.
Shredder going on Gumtree but looking at that it will be joining lots of others!!
