Making a compost shredder

Couldn’t find one in the market, so I just adapted and created a compost shredder. It can be helpful to fellow composters!

I use a cordless trimmer with the leaves in my plastic compost bin. Works great! And to mix the compost, I use the same Ryobi Drill you have along with an 36" digging auger. It works great and I do not have to worry about a pitchfork or shovel destroying the walls of my plastic bin.

Great idea going to try it thanks.

I don’t understand why nothing exists in the market for compost shredding. I know it’s pretty niche, but wouldn’t you have thought a company like TimberWolf or something that is for shredding wood would have had a similar implement for shredding compost. I have a roughly 1 tonne pile of compost, and it’s in its final stages but just not quite getting there yet. A shredder would not only blitz the leaves and twigs but it would also mix the carbon:nitrogen material better. At the moment I use a hand fork and it takes about approximately 35-40 mins to fully turn and mix the pile. It’s so annoying.

I love this idea. Easiest to use compost stirrer on youtube.

Could the edges of blades be sharpened with a file?

It should work!

That's goofy

[@Windrider6]

Mediocre. Using a drill on all that in the bin would take a very long time to chop it down.

Open to better ideas!

Will also give this a shot. Probably allow for some moisture to add resistance between particles. Grind, mix, let it sit a few days. Rinse and repeat. At some point sift out the fines and keep the stubborn stuff for round 2, or 3, or.... 45. Thanks for the idea!

You could get away with half the grinding if you always spin it the same direction
