    I use a plastic grain shovel works fine

    Ps. If you dry the branches first they will be harder on the machine and there will be more shattered up small bits. Not good ???

    I use the nets twice after two seasons they are disintegrated also put them in in barrow bags with two mesh sides. They seem to dry ok only fill to max two thirds full or they are too heavy to shift about i see yours are under cover. I leave mine out in wind and sun with some sort of cover over the top AgreeBranch loggers are a faff on but I like to make waste into something useful

    I was wondering the same thing might be a bit dry for the new hedge plants competing with existing hedge nice and weed free thou with the gravel but plants might prefer an organic mulch of compost or leaf mould

    In a similar situation is there any point in just felling poorest looking trees in hope some might be resistant or make life easy and just fell the lot ? This year they didn’t get any sicker looking and some may have rallied a little

    I have been getting lazy and putting mine into ventilated barrow bags. Saves time on the load up but they then need tipped out and put in buckets to get them into boiler swings and roundabouts they seem to dry out fine
