Best Garden Mulcher Chipper Shredder: Clean up Quick!

Updated: October 18, 2018     Eric Clark

Best Garden Mulcher

Mulching, chipping, and shredding garden waste can be a hassle, especially if you don’t really have any good quality tools for the job. If you want an electric garden mulcher to quickly and easily make confetti of your yard waste, then the Patriot CSV-2515 is the best choice for you. This beastly electric shredder will cut up to 2.5″ limbs and can eat leaves for breakfast. The dryer the leaves, the better, of course, but if your compost bin is getting low, the Patriot will fill it back up in a snap. There’s no question that this is the best garden mulcher available.

Unfortunately, it is, well, very expensive! The Patriot really is in another league compared to the competition and is covered under a 2-year warranty (3 years if you buy the power cord as well). If you will be using the mulcher frequently, this is the one for you.

Best Bistro Set

Balconies, porches, and small outdoor spaces are ideal locations for a bistro set. These patio furniture sets are almost always a single table and chairs and are ideal for compact outdoor use. We have looked at several options for bistro table and chairs on the market, and have found that the best bistro set is the Best Choice Products Cast Aluminum set.

Yeah, this set is definitely old-world in style, but it is quite appealing. It has cleverly-integrated ice bucket in the table, and the frame is made out of high quality cast aluminum, painted with a copper finish. It has won our hearts!

You may want to pick up a cushion for the chair, though, if you plan on sitting on it for long periods of time.
