Using mulch in your garden is a great addition to your gardening routine, resulting in happier, healthier plants and vegetables. The Cyclone Rake, a tow-behind leaf vacuum, is ideal for creating mulch at home, as it collects all the materials that make rich, high-quality mulch. The Cyclone Rake collects shredded leaves, grass clippings, pine needles, sticks, and more to create nutrient-rich mulch. Making your own mulch is not only environmentally-friendly, but it will also save you money on store-bought mulch. Using the Cyclone Rake will also aid in increasing the speed in which your debris composts.
Types of Mulch
There are two types of mulch: organic and inorganic. Organic mulch contains things that were once living like grass clippings, chopped leaves, paper, pine needles, wood chips, straw, shredded bark, and saw dust. Inorganic mulch includes things that were not previously alive including black plastic, stones, and gravel. Both organic and inorganic mulch aid in decreasing weed growth but organic soil offers more benefits.
Benefits of Organic Mulch
1. Aids soil in retaining water, reducing the need to water
2. Keeps the soil cool and moist during warm weather
3. Nutrients into the soil are released into the soil as components break down
4. Hinders the growth of most weeds
5. Promotes earthworm activity which contributes to the nutrients of the soil
6. Hinders the freezing and thawing of the soil in the winter months
7. Contains any dirt and keeps it from splashing onto the flowers and vegetables
The Cyclone Rake is ideal for all seasons but particularly fall; it turns the backbreaking chore of leaf and debris cleanup into an easy project that provides you with nutritious mulch to use in your gardens come springtime.
