Shredding of pruned twigs Be sure to wear gloves when chopping the pruned twigs to avoid injury.

What can you use chopped twigs for?
You can use chopped pruned twigs to make a compass. If you want to put the chopped twigs on the compost, mix it with kitchen waste to ensure good composting. In fact, chopped and shredded tree twigs are great for a compass. Twigs should be mixed with fallen and dried leaves. However, this kind of compost should only be used for fully grown plants, because the leaves contain tannic acid, which is harmful to young plants. It is this tannic acid that also prevents the growth of weeds and therefore has a positive effect on fully grown plants. You can also put chopped tree tops on the soil around the plants as frost protection.
What preparations should be made before chopping the pruned twigs?
If you want to use larger branches as firewood, you need to sort the tree branches before cutting and separate the leaves and small branches from the big ones.

Which shredder is best for shredding pruned twigs?
A basic distinction is made between rollers and knives. Although shredders with knives have the advantage that their price is significantly lower than the price of rollers, they have the disadvantage that they make a lot of noise when cutting. Therefore, we recommend a roller shredder, which on the one hand is much quieter, and on the other hand chops larger branches and twigs without any problems. However, if you want to make a compass for winter protection and you mainly have to cut the branches of the hedge, a chipper with knives is recommended, because it only shreds the branches and does not crush them, which means that they break down more slowly and thus have longer frost protection
How much time do you need to spend chopping the pruned twigs?
A good garden shredder can process up to 150 kg of tree branches per hour. Generally, chopping and spreading in a compost pile or spreading under plants shouldn”t take more than a few hours in total.
