Will it work for shredding cut flower stems?

I would try a few. As long as they aren't soggy, I would think they could be chopped up easily

I have not used it for this specific purpose, but I have every reason to believe it would work just fine. The leaves I have shredded have all been dry, but I think it would probably work all right on fresh flower stems. It is basically like an edger that you would use to trim your drive or sidewalk of grass.

I have put thin stems in mine but I would not try anything with thick stems. For example, some daffodils and their leaves mulched fine, as they happened to be raked up with my leaves.

It's a string trimmer in a housing. From my experience, if they are green and soft it does a decent job. The tough ones like roses will not shred. It will break them but not much more.

Not if they're thick or "woody" - no rose stems. Cuttings or early pruning from the tops of mums will shred but not as well as leaves. Remember it's a string trimmer turned upside down. There are no blades.

I am not sure as I have never tried to shred beets, but I assume it would as I have shredded carrots and apples. I hope this helps.

Yes. This scissors can cut the flower stems very well, and my flowers never fallen off.

No. A paper shredder cuts sheets into narrow strips, of varying widths, holds the paper through the knives, and leaves the shreds difficult to put back together. An eco shredder just has a whirling blade in a space, arbitrarily chopping into whatever gets in its way. I don't like the chances of paper "munged" in an eco-shredder being shredded into anything that might be difficult to reconstruct. More likely to miss than cut....

Yes, it will shred cabbage as long as your chunks fit down the input chute. I haven't done much cheese with it. As long as you don't force the feed too hard and bind up the blade, it does fine.

I use mine on Waxleaf Ligustrum. They are very leafy and have tough stems. They cut them better than any trimmers I have had.

I have not used it for this. However the small blade would make shredding foam or sponge difficult. It's a much better "chipper" for branches & sticks than a shredder for soft, loose & bulky material. The 'mouth' is not wide or deep like a funnel but shallow w/ a small-ish opening.

The shredder self-destructed on me after only a few hours use. I did use it on bamboo, resulting in some pretty large shreds like straw. I really don't know if it will handle sugarcane, but I would go with a different brand in any case.

Not well I'm afraid. You can try it if you already own the chipper, but I haven't had much success with stringy things like grasses or leaves. It's really more suitable for hard waste like sticks and small (under 1.5") branches.

I would not recommend it for shredding ivy vines. Pay more for a shredder that uses a metal cutter instead of nylon string..

This will work. Not paper thin at all. I use it on carrots as well as papayas, etc ...

I've never tried either but I'm sure shredding cabbage would be no problem. Keep in mind that the plastic container and cover are very flimsy and mine broke some time ago and I've had to discard the appliance.

It might if the straw is real dry but it has been my experience that smaller green twigs that have any flexibility often pass through the shredder with minimal damage. I have also found that trying to feed a lot of leaves through the hopper is frustrating because it tends to plug up more than I like so I have to keep a stick handy to stir things up to keep it feeding. I have a feeling straw might have the same problem.

Yes, it will cut fabrics as well as paper. I have used it for fabric leaves & flowers for a number of projects.

I am sure it will but not all at once. It would have to be ripped into smaller sections to shred it. It can handle about 6 sheets of paper easily. The opening can only handle an 8.5" piece of paper though.

Sorry I have not tried shredding coconut yet, but I think it should work. I have used it on ginger, jicama, & other things. I'd try using small pieces.

I would not recommend the WORX for this material. I uses string trimmer plastic line for the shredding of dry leaves. You woiuld probably want a shredder with metal cutting bleds for your task'My WORX is being used to shred oak leaves and if the leaves are dry it works well. With moist leaves it is more dificult as they tend to clump.Hope this helps.
