Hi there !

I read your article. I'm french and I didn't really understand what was a
Shredder but I read that you were making compost.
I know a product that makes better compost. It's a 100% natural products
that enables an "aerobie" process. Thus there is no rotting. Just a clean
decomposition. The compost is much more profitable for the soil and it
needs less work to keep in good shape.
This products are based on an energie system invented by PLOCHER, a german
agriculturist. It provides a material with "energie information" that
stimulates the natural processes of the soil, of the water ... There is a
different product for each application. The compost is one of them.
PENAC K for compost
PENAC W for water
PENAC P for plants
...

You can have more information on the web site of PLOCHER :
http://www.plocher.de/index_e.htm
I'm distributor of these products in France (Paris) but I'm sure you can
find a distributor near you. Otherwise, just ask me.
Those products are not distributed in shops. It's too alternative. Do you
imagine, 100% natural products, chemicals free, that regenerates and
revitalizes the soils.
You have rentability with environnement protection !

There are some scientific demonstration of the results of the PENAC
products use available. Just ask me if you want more information. Just make
the information flow. that's the way it works !

For a better world. Plocher energie system.
