A speaker at our gardening club told us (and showed us an example) that he
puts newly bought bags of compost through his shredder. This "fluffs up"
the compost to a fine tilth removing the compacted lumps one tends to get.
If this sounds daft to some of you, I'm only relating what the speaker said.
Please don't shoot the messenger :-)

Lot more effort, though. I riddled all the soil into our potatoes last

Great piece of machinery. One problem. Storage when not in use!
