...fractures, which allows access by micro-organisms and oxygen, and which will in turn accelerate the composting process. Giving the compost a turn from time to time completes the process and you will soon become the proud owner of one of nature’s greatest gifts. The easiest way to shred or break up your garden material is by using a “shredder”. Once the domain of the professional gardener, manufacturers have designed much smaller machines for the average garden. The design of these has improved over the years, and there is now a selection of fine models on the market. I am now onto my second shredder, the first having gone to that great compost heap in the sky after 10 years of faithful service.
