mulch, any material, usually organic, that is spread on the ground to protect the soil and the roots of plants from the effects of soil crusting, erosion, or freezing; it is also used to retard the growth of weeds. A mulch may be made of materials such as straw, sawdust, grass clippings, peat moss, leaves, or paper. For large areas under cultivation a tilled layer of soil serves the purpose of a mulch.

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. |
