Testing a Cheap Electric Garden Shredder || Black Gumbo

Do you need a garden shredder? I've discovered that they can be handy in a small garden in context. If I had a homestead with lots of trees and limbs, I might choose to invest in a true wood chipper, something that could handle large branches. But in my backyard garden, and around my house, most of the biomass that I generate is thin stemmed. Often it's too thick to compost in a single season, so it needs to be shredded so the compost will be available quickly. I've purchased a cheap shredder from Amazon, for under $200. Let's give it a test. I'll cover the kinds of materials that I'll be shredding and you can decide for yourself if a shredder is right for you.

I loved the way you edited this video: you enjoying the fruits of your labour at the beginning (which to be honest, is why we're all here!) and the shredding joke made me laugh! :)

[@kristabaumann1638]

We got one similar and love it. We either put the chippings in compost or under shrubs as mulch. I hated having to bag up the twigs to put on the curb so I'm thrilled we can mulch it and put it back in the garden.

[@bkerr1]

I got a similar shredder/chipper, a Sun Joe, from Home Depot last spring. I works great for sticks, small limbs and sapling dogwood and redbud trees, a well as wild grapevines and evergreen shrub trimmings. I used the woody chips to mulch some of my spring garden eds and it worked great! I did find that some stuff, like okra stalks and milkweeds are very fibrous and gummed up the blades, so i had to stop and clean out the blades from time to time. lot of goodies for the compost bin for sure! I wish I had bought one years ago!

[@cindynielson4231]

We have the same one, works great.

[@akersquarteracre8002]

Great investment Scott... I've got a similar one made by Sun Joe that I use for turning all the smaller branches and old palm fronds into mulch. I break it out every once in a while after branches/palm fronds stack up, works great for softer wood up to 1-1/2" or so. Doesn't work so great for very hard or thicker pieces. Anything bigger than that just gets used as firewood. Good user tip to always use dry after wet as you said, keeps the blades nice and clean. Great vid Scott!

[@adamt195]

I have the Sun joe one too. I wasnt very happy with how it cut the branches and twigs. They didnt come out shredded, just more like diced into cylinders. Looking back at it, I think I got the wrong model. Mine is the CJ603E. The 601 or 602 models look like they do more shredding, whereas mine does more chipping.

[@akersquarteracre8002]

@@adamt195 I have the same model and can agree, it's less of a shredder and more of a chipper. Works great for that purpose, which is exactly what I needed it for. If a person wanted more of a shredder, I'd probably recommend getting a different model too.

Thanks for reviewing this. I’ve been considering getting one and now I think I’ll go ahead. It should work nicely for my garden stuff.

[@kjrchannel1480]

I had a harbor freight metal version from some years back and the cutting disc broke twice. The first time the motor shaft got bent and jammed it good. With current rebrand portable electric chippers that top hopper bowl is meant to hold some material so you can push it in. I used mine to fill a few tubs a day when needed with mulch and compost sized material. Now I have a larger gas powered upright chipper I use in the spring and fall when needed. The neighbors that work at home don't like it when I do marathon sessions. They can't understand how a person can find chipping therapeutic. I avoid putting some dry hardwoods into it over a certain size because it dulls the blades and it is better to use a saw for use in smokers. Lilac is one of those.

We left behind a fairly hefty chipper-shredder when we retired and moved to FL last year. We made phenomenal compost super fast with that thing, and I miss it. The small replacement I bought after we moved is just too weak to do much, but it's enough for my small compost pile (in a Geobin). I'm hoping to convince our retirement community garden group to invest in a mid-size shredder so the larger group compost pile cooks quicker.

I later learned from professionals you can’t chip mimosa 😂. I want to buy another one for the rest of garden waste but wanted to know what I can and cannot put. Looks like it works with both green and dry materials. Thanks for the great tips!

[@angeloelmi4529]

I have the earthwise chipper which is similar. It was only about $140. It cuts through tree branches up to 1.5 to 2 inches thick as long as the branch is straight or at least almost straight. I've found that the main problems occur when the branches have angles. It will often get stuck at the angle point and I'll have to pull it out and readjust it.

[@JoyoftheGardenandHome]

Let us know how that shredder holds up please...

[@johnjude2685]

Agree 👍about screeder/ mulcher. I just wanted something large enough for limbs as I have now 4&5 year grown apple tree, and hopefully canvas flower stalks. I got a second hand 8 hp.chipper/mulcher at a junk price and did replace the carb and sharpening all the blades. Yes 8 hp is a little over kill but a day sharpening and replace the $15.00 carboator plus a deal of a junk price, Makes it a fair bargain. I'm having no problem wet leaves and 1.5 inche limbs become almost compose and I did have a 4 hp mowing mulcher that was a pain to use. BIG time thanks for teaching safety glasses as important the mulcher are dangerous at times when throwing twigs and you can't just grab glasses after the twigs are in flight. Yes we Gardeners do need a mulcher and buy once a product that can pay you a return for your investment. Great subject and thanks for the teaching Sir

Have you seen the Bosch shredder/chipper that Charles Dowdy uses. That's the one I want. I need to call a Bosch rep from here in the states to try and get one. Otherwise, I do believe I would like to try the Sun Joe product. But I do like yours as well, since it does wet material.

[@davidward1259]

We bought a Garden Way "Tomahawk" 3.5hp chipper shredder back in the 1980's (the type with both hammer flails and a side cutter input. I was fortunate to have also purchased a complete set of the extra plates for it so I can get a range of finished product size output. I have run the wet stuff through the "wet" plate for rough chopping, and let it dry a week or so and then through the fine 3/4" plate for perfect compost pile material. The input is much larger than that electric one! I usually put a 20 gallon tub of material on the top edge and slowly hand rake it into the large top opening and let gravity do the work. Also someone gave me a pressure washer that quit working, but the 6.5hp motor is fine. The mounting bolts and output shaft are in the same locations so I'm going to upgrade the 3.5hp to a 6.5hp next time I rotate the hammer flails (you can rotate them 4 times before replacement). Should work even better with wet material after that upgrade.

I got a similar Sun Joe chipper/shredder from Home Depot this spring and it’s worked well for dry woody material but doesn’t work that great on real small or wet plants.
