Beginner Gardening: Chipper/shredders, 1 by Weezingreens

I have an electric leaf shredder, much like Horseshoe described. It works well with dry leaves, but gums up with green vegetation or with wet leaves. The model we bought was a Flowtron and it is built to fit over a garbage can. There are no blades, but rather strings that work like a weedeater. As I recall, it cost under a $150 with shipping. It would work well in the fall when shredding leaves for mulch, but would not cut up limbs or heavy vegetation.
