are very useful in the garden, but safety is a great concern. Whatever
equipment you are using, it pays to use
a Residual Current Device. These devices measure the current in
the inward and outward lines, should there be any imbalance between the
two it cuts off the supply.

| For those persons who make their own
compost a Shredder is a very
useful tool, it will reduced weeds and shrub waste to go into the
compost bin. A Strimmer (common name) can reduce the time taken to cut weeds and grass in awkward areas. Care needs to be taken regarding debris being thrown to a distance. I was in my metal shed one day when I heard small stones and pieces of wood hitting the side of it, my neighbour was strimming, there was a thorn hedge between us, which is very thin at the bottom as it is 7 metres high. He was wearing all the protective gear, but had made no attempt to protect anyone else. |
