shredding Ivy
Charlie Morgan wrote: I have a property with a lot of english ivy that has run amuck. I want to pull it up and run it through a chipper-shredder. I'm just wondering if one of those 6.5 HP Troy-bilt units from Sears or Lowes will handle ivy without jamming every 10 seconds. Has anyone ever tried shredding this stuff? Yes, I understand that the ivy will grow back. So will the stand of bamboo I will also be cutting down and running through the chipper. I just need to clear it for the short term. My only question is about whether this machine will grind the ivy reasonably well, since it looks like that might be a good question to ask, given the tough, stringy nature of ivy. Thanks CWM I do this with my mulching lawn mower all the time. It makes for great compost. Take care to make sure it's completely shredded before tossing it in a pile somewhere. A small piece left in the right place can take root and start a new vine. |
