Daniel talked us through the health and safety aspects of using the mulcher, an awesome machine capable of chewing 60mm branches up into small chips, and we were shown how to safely start, stop and use the mulcher.
All of us then had a go at starting the mulcher up, feeding a branch through it and turning it off. We were all impressed by the ease with which it chewed up stuff, and a little in awe at the power. Tim-the-tool-man-Taylor would love it!
After the training, almost everyone came back to our place for a pot-luck lunch and a chance to catch up and meet people not on the street. It was so good to talk to others in the local community who have a similar desire to see a reduction of waste, more composting and more community interaction.
I'd like to take the opportunity to thank Daniel for his time, and all those who came along to be trained. The mulcher was in use over the weekend. Once trained,
It was a fun morning! we used the mulcher last weekend.Tom decided to trim a bush , then moved onto a tree then onto 6 trees. With the help of Gary our neighbour on Clunie ave our trees are now trimmed and all mulched up. So handy to have the mulcher just down the road!. Two huge piles of mulch to use up. Yah!
