Using a shredder will speed up the decomposition of woody

Thanks but since it's an allotment there's no power supply. I don't
think you can get a petrol shredder for less than £900!


Battery Powered Hedge Trimmer. ..... HONEST :-)

Put your compost into the bin and 'slice through it' with the hedge trimmer.
Two or three sweeps and it reduces the stuff you have just put in down to a
more sensible material.

Been there, done that, got the compost :-))
