Agri-Serve has recently opened a mulching yard at 22925 Coltrane Ave. Sheet mulching is a no till, no dig technique using combined layers of cardboard, newspaper, compost, leaves, grass clippings or raw manure that breaks down the grass and cardboard creating instant garden beds. As a true mulching deck, the Mulch-on-Demand's patented moveable baffle system not only blocks the discharge opening, but also separates the individual cutting chambers to ensure the grass clippings circulate, mulch and drop quickly. |
