[QUOTE="martian, post: 2340854, member: 801"] Been thinking along similar lines re hedge-cutting. We got a circular saw to go on the digger arm which does a fantastic job of chopping overgrown hedges and we have ended up with some enormous piles of trimmings which I've been wondering how to chip. We used to bed our dry cows on waste wood chip on an outdoor corral, the chips were the size of your fist and we got them for the cost of transport, but they didn't rot down very quickly and they weren't particularly comfortable for the cattle. We now use municipal compost as a base for the corral and straw it up through the winter, but the comost is too fine really and turns to mush, although it makes some lovely stuff to spread. Chipped hedge cuttings would be the perfect base for the corral and would go on to be the perfect compost base, but the question is how to get from A to B...meanwhile I'll try to get as much tree surgeons 'waste' as I can get hold of.
