Bob, here is a link to more than you ever wanted to know about the difference between a grinder and a chipper: https://www.rotochopper.com/resources/grinders-vs-chippers/ In my experience, chipper/shredders do the job for creating the appx. 1-inch pieces that are mentioned in the article. Thanks for subscribing to the Garden Basics Newsletter!
Robert Raabe indicates to not use a “grinder” as it produces too small a particle size for composting. What is a grinder so that such can be avoided when purchasing a machine to assist in composting?
Robert also states that 30 to 1 carbon (browns) to nitrogen (greens) ratio is equivalent to a 50/50 blend by volume. Much easier to estimate volume.
Thank you for a very informative session on making compost. Now just need to find the energy to daily turn the compost.
