Three efficient machines in one
It shreds - it chips - it grinds… and can do all three at the same time
As a shredder
The Globe is a powerful, high-volume shredder of leaves, weeds, twigs, hedge and shrub prunings, dead flowers, straw, paper, bracken, heather, sea-weed, pine and fir cones... almost anything organic...for mulching or composting. It cleans up all your garden refuse - FAST - and produces mulch and compost free for the making.
As a chipper
The Globe is a fast, SAFE, wood-chipper. It chips branches and woody stems quickly and efficiently into small, even-sized, chips perfect for mulching or incorporation into compost. No need to pay the garden centre price for bark or woodchips - MAKE YOUR OWN!
As a grinder
The Globe is a fast, effective, grinder of turf, earth clods, bones, sea-shells, lumps of dried manure... Use it to reduce rootballs of dead pot plants to fine, granular, potting soil. Make your own compost mixes by grinding together soil, peat, sand, compost, etc. You can’t do that in most other shredder-chippers!
The problem
If you have a garden it inevitably produces debris: weeds, dead flowers, autumn leaves, prunings, gone-to-seed vegetables... Tree branches fall or have to be cut off, Brussels sprouts stems are left after the sprouts have been picked, raspberry canes need to be cut down … every gardener knows the problem! You have to dispose of all these things - to keep the place tidy, if nothing else. It takes time and effort to bag it for collection, it costs time and petrol to take it to the tip - and it’s all very wasteful.
The solution
With a Globe Shredder Chipper you can recycle all your organic rubbish in your own garden, very efficiently, with minimum handling - and create FREE beneficial mulch and compost material at the same time. It can dispose of all these things mentioned above – and much more besides – all with minimum effort.
Shred the small stuff - up to 5/8-inch (15mm) thick by feeding it into the shredder chute. Chip the woody material above that size by putting it into the chipper chute. Two people can use the machine at the same time and the machine will cope with it. Let the shreddings and chippings mix together to make perfect mulch and compost material.
Use it!
Spread shredded material as a mulch 2-3 inches (50-75mm) deep in borders and shrub beds to suppress weed growth, conserve soil moisture, and reduce or eliminate the need for hoeing. Mulch decomposes slowly to improve soil structure, encourages earthworms - which drag the mulch down into the top layer of soil to improve fertility and drainage.
Dig in composted shreddings and chippings to return beneficial nutrients to the soil and improve its structure. Compost improves drainage in heavy soils and adds texture and water-retentivity to light sandy soils. It is the ultimate organic fertiliser - and it comes free when you make your own. You get something for nothing - and save the cost of throwing it away!
Make better leafmould than ever before by shredding the leaves first. Even large leaves like horse chestnut break down in only one year after shredding - the hard petioles too!
