Wood chippers and log splitters for winter clearing

Many homeowners in Zimbabwe focus on garden maintenance in winter. As the cool air descends, fallen foliage builds up and we stockpile the twigs, branches and piles of wood. Now is the time to start clearing these piles and putting the organic matter to good use. Logs can be split into firewood and smaller branches can be turned into mulch for your flower beds.

Cutting Edge is your one-stop shop for outdoor machinery to process wood. The powerful wood chipper and the trustworthy log splitter are two machines that will help you with your winter clearing. Let’s delve into the benefits of each machine below:

The wood chipper: Creating treasure from garden waste

Turn that ugly mound of twigs and branches into a valuable mulch for your garden. This is how a wood chipper works its magic. These powerful machines are made to shred woody debris into smaller chips, which is perfect for compost or as a mulch to spread on top of your flower beds.

Cutting Edge sells Hunter wood chippers, which use a high-speed spinning blade or drum to grind up branches and other organic materials. Depending on the chipper model, the final mulch has a range of sizes, making it adaptable for various garden uses. These machines offer the following benefits for homeowners:

• Eco-friendly disposal – A wood chipper gives you a sustainable option for garden waste disposal instead of burning or throwing it away.
• Mulch magic – Wood chips work as a natural mulch, keeping the soil moist, controlling temperature, and keeping weeds at bay – all ideal for Zimbabwe’s arid winters.
• Composting champion – Wood chips speed up the decomposition process in your compost heap by forming an ideal carbon source when combined with other organic materials.
• Fuel for fireplaces – Smaller wood chips are great fuel for outdoor fire pits or fireplaces, keeping you toasty warm on those cold winter nights.

The log splitter: Streamlining the firewood process

It’s a genuine Zimbabwean tradition to spend winter evenings with loved ones gathered around a roaring fireplace. But when you have to split firewood, the happy feeling of a crackling fire can rapidly fade. With the log splitter, this tedious task becomes a breeze.

Cutting Edge stocks Hunter log splitters, which use a gasoline-powered hydraulic ram. The log is positioned on a base plate, and the ram effectively splits it by driving a wedge into it with force. So why should homeowners buy one?

• Effortless splitting – Say goodbye to swinging an axe and welcome easy splitting. By saving you time and effort, log splitters let you truly enjoy the comfort and warmth of your winter fire.
• Safety first – Physically splitting firewood can be risky. Log splitters protect your hands and toes from harm by keeping them safely away from the splitting action.
• Efficiency is key – Log splitters can handle a wide range of log sizes and shapes, so they are perfect for processing fallen trees as well as smaller branches for kindling.
• Time is money – Use the time you save to prepare for other winter preparations or simply unwind and enjoy the cool season.
