Does Paul hate wood chippers? If so, why?

We own a pretty good chipper which is used mainly for gardening clients. It is expensive to run. It costs petrol and the blades are expensive also. That is why we are not using it so much.

I do not like the smell of the exhaust.  I do not like how loud they are.    They harsh my smooth.

Sometimes I want wood to be smaller.  Loppers and pruners seem be all I need most of the time.  Sometimes I might use a saw.  



If I want mulch, I prefer the brushiness of whatever it is.  All the branches and twigs help to hold other mulches on the hugelkultur.
