I had the gardner in last week. Asked him to tidy up the wood at the bottom of the garden.
Patio now has a BIG pile of branches (10ft x 10ft) Called the hire place for a chipper thing, 200.00 a day to hire FFS.

Any suggestions?

How thick are the branches? If they are only a couple of inches then you can buy a garden chipper for half that, if not less.

Bonfire.

Put some of the pile at the bottom of the garden as a Hedgehog den.

Long thin branches work well as garden canes.

Branches are different sizes, I read a few reviews about the chippers in DIY stores and they are no good for fresh wood.

Pile is very big, and I don't have anywhere that I could burn it without leaving a visable scar.

I just removed this stuff from the bottom of the garden because it was effecting the trees.

A friend just told me about a mobile chipper, they come chip it and take the stuff away. They are cheaper as they sell your chips.

I pruned my hydrangea.

It died.

I wish mine would

I pruned an old apple tree once.

It bore one last large extremely hard apple.

And died.

I'm beginning to see a bit of a pattern here.

It's probably your soil. My garden is stuffed with plants that are far too big for it but I can't kill them. All the local mogs and foxes have had a go too.
