We love our Garden shredder

Shredding Saturday....we cut down and shredded our corn patch in a mere two hours on Saturday.   Here is Kurt just starting to cut down the stalks.  Remember he is 6'7" tall- so that corn is towering over him. 

Working together we had the all 15 rows cut down pretty quickly.  Then we rolled in the gas powered shredder- the red thing in this picture

 Here is Kurt starting to feed the stalks into the shredder.  Once I got the hang of it he left the task to me.  The shredder chewed up a stalk in a matter of seconds.  Much better than what I have done for the last two years- using the lawn mower. 

 And a short while later- ta da! All the corn stalks are turned into little tiny peices.  Can't wait to see how the shredder goes through the sunflower stalks later. 

 After the shredding adventure it was time for another picking of tomatoes- easily 50 lbs! And the last ears of corn.  Sad to see the corn season end--but then my waistline will benefit from dropping my daily diet of corn on the cob.
