Chipper recommendation

hah... I guess you didn't read the OP.

Yes, I have an outdoor fire ring, I filled it and burned it down about a dozen times this weekend. It's my go-to solution for winter, but in nicer weather the prevailing winds take the smoke straight toward a neighbor's house, and it causes them some frustration since I'm making a lot of smoke burning a lot of green stuff (or even more often after our too-frequent rains).

So, this is a solution to be used primarily in spring/summer/fall, I'll continue to burn all scrap in winter.

Use the ashes in your garden (pot-ash) just dont burn any plastics. We have a fire ring and do that - dont burn on windy days.

Just realize ash has a pH of about 10 and will raise the PH in your soil.

That's not something everyone wants.

Only add it of the pH of your soil is 6 or less and you aren't planting acid-living soil plants - aka hydrangeas or blueberries.
