Is that your shredder in the blue? yes we can make compost now quite quickly. The winds kicked up and the air is thick with smoke. Poor forests. There is not fires directly west of us now so yours must be the one clouding up the valley. I am going to the forest service and see what is burning. Good loking compost pile. You do the same thing as I do and dry out the cuttings before you chip and shred. Much easier. Too bad I have to shred all of mine usually in the spring. I use a troy bilt 10hp and it cuts things up pretty well. I just have to use the shovel handle I broke this early summer to stuff into the chopper box. I can always rely on haveing 1 or two every year. I buy cheap shovels cause even the expensive ones break here.
