Garden shredders: knife shredders vs. roller shredders

You can read here for whom it is worth buying a garden shredder and what advantages and disadvantages the different shredders offer.

The shredder automatically pulls the shredded material along with the rotating roller, which makes handling easier and improves user-friendliness. Wet or very soft materials can clog the roller and cause annoying backlogs in the machine. This method is therefore only suitable to a limited extent for shredding grass, green waste, leaves and other soft and moist garden waste. A big advantage of the roller shredder is that it works much more quietly than the knife shredder. In densely populated residential areas, this trait can determine a good relationship with neighbors. In a direct comparison, knife shredders often produce twice as much noise as their counterparts. The end product of the roller shredder is ideal for home composting in the garden and for the production of humus soil. This will save you the trip to composting waste in the future and ensure a positive environmental balance.

Advantages of the roller chopper:

• Significantly quieter shredding process
• Easy shredding of dry green waste and thicker branches
• Maintenance-free and low wear
• Chepped material is much easier to compost

Disadvantages of roller chopper:

• Cheap roller shredders not particularly suitable for soft and moist chopped material
• Higher acquisition costs

Garden shredder: advantages and price at a glance

A garden shredder creates space and order in your own garden. A lot of space is created by shredding the garden waste. Mounds of leaves can be reduced to a third of their original volume. The environment also benefits from this, because the chopped material is excellent for further processing.
Last but not leastthe visual aspect also plays a major role. It is known at any time of the year that leftover garden waste restricts the view of your own green meadow. With the help of a shredder, these can be easily disposed of and give a clean and well-kept view of your own garden.

There are many criteria by which to choose a garden shredder. Therefore, you should inform yourself extensively before buying. For the ecologically thinking hobby gardener, however, a garden shredder definitely belongs in their own garden. Saving time, saving space, environmental friendliness and a well-groomed appearance of the garden are just a few of the advantages of a garden shredder.
