Deluxe Leaf Shredder If you get tired of dumping seemingly endless numbers of fall leaves into bags—and then turning around and hauling numbers of bags of mulch back into the garden—this leaf shredder may be just the tool you need to eliminate both. It can convert 11 bags of leaves into one bag of mulch. Unlike other shredders, this one can handle pine needles, grass clippings and paper and has adjustments to make both coarse and finely shredded mulch. ($195) Gardener’s Supply Co. |
