Of yard tools to buy, a chipper/shredder rates higher on my list than a leaf blower (I sweep my walks, and rake the leaves). But I have sucker branches that I trim regularily and think a shredder would be a nifty thing to have.

I support my local farmer's market, and am addicted to the milk from the dairyman there. This week I bought peaches, blueberries (last of the season), tomatoes, cucumbers, and yellow squash. Ate a peach this evening the size of a baseball - it was wonderful!
