Therefore, the two terms are used interchangeably. It is well-documented that fungicides can affect crustacean leaf shredders via two effect pathways, namely waterborne exposure and their diet (i.e., via dietary uptake of fungicides adsorbed to leaf material and an altered microorganism-mediated food quality). It has a reverse button if material gets stuck, a safety switch, a round plunger for pushing material into the funnel and a long, 10m orange cable that's easy to see. Since mulchers and leaf shredders perform a similar function, there is no difference between the two machines. This shredder is quiet in operation with a strong pull on material in the funnel and it shreds prunings down to compostable material easily, dropping them into the box below. The plastic collection box has a large capacity of 55L and a safety mechanism so that the shredder will only work when this is engaged - if the box breaks, it will need to be replaced or the shredder won't work. But, it breaks down well for storage, with the funnel slotting upside down into the collection box, and if storage space is limited, would fit easily into a corner or under a shelf.
