You always need compost for your garden---normally it can only be made in sufficient volume by shredding roadside leaves or chipping tree limbs---either from chemically untreated areas. You also need several grinding screens and a bar-discharge chute to produce the size of chipped or ground material you want. You need a 1/4" screen for potting soil, and like any compost will have to mix in nitrogen material like green grass with carbonaceous material (small-diameter dry organic material) in a one-to-thirty ratio to make the composting bacteria happy. Keep the compost pile fairly wet and turn it often. A nine horsepower engine is adequate. I had a WW Grinder once, and a Kemp ---neither would chip limbs, only grind stuff like wet, stringy stalks from my banana grove and regrind wood chips. I threw away the five horsepower engine on the WW, put on a eight hosepower which worked well, and suffered a world-wide wait for a five horsepower Kemp to regrind chips I got from a road crew.

Best ones currently available are MacKissics---mercilessly expensive at about $1800 including freight, plus expensive screen options. E-bay might provide some cost relief. They aren't common enough to find in estate auctions, at least cities the size of Roanoke. I'd go for a nine hp. engine with a cast-iron cylinder liner.

Some enlightening user comments---all leading to the conclusion MacKissic is the only realistic choice, anything else is a waste of time and money. Chippers, Part II <http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/tools/msg011654228285.html>
