Chipping of branches

When is branch chipping necessary?

It is never easy to get rid of fallen branches. In addition to being cumbersome, they can become dangerous and cause various accidents. So when is it necessary to shred them?

·    After the passage of a hurricane

Generally, hurricanes generate strong winds that can break the branches of your trees. After they pass, your exterior can be covered with leaves and branches that need to be got rid of. The most effective solution is to shred them, which will allow you to quickly remove all the debris on the ground.

·    After pruning or pruning

It is advisable to prune and prune your trees periodically in order to maintain them and control their growth. However, these tasks generate a large amount of leaves and branches in your yard. At this point, it becomes necessary to use a shredder to get rid of it quickly.

·    After felling a tree

After cutting down a tree in your yard, you end up with a trunk as well as countless branches and leaves that you are struggling to get rid of. If the trunk can easily be used elsewhere, you may have difficulty finding a use for the branches. Grinding them into chips can be a great alternative.

What to do with shredded branches?

When you hire a shredder or hire professionals to shred your branches, they are reduced to small sizes, sometimes even shavings. In this form, you can find different possible uses.

·    Make compost

The shredded branches and leaves can be used very well as compost for your plants. To do this, you just need to mix them with other organic waste and let them turn into compost for a while. You will get a natural fertilizer for your vegetable garden and your flowers.

·    Get fuel for heating

Shredded branches and leaves can be used as heating fuel. For this, the chips obtained undergo several drying stages in order to burn efficiently. Moreover, the manufacturing process of pellets and forest chips involves the use of these chips.

·    Line the forest with debris

Finally, if you really find no practical use for your branch and leaf shavings, you can scatter them in the nearby forest. Over time, they will naturally turn into compost which will feed the surrounding trees and plants. Above all, do not think that you are polluting nature, since it is only debris from leaves and branches, without other elements or chemicals. It’s a bit like dead leaves covering the ground to turn into compost.
