Mulch and Mulching Installation in this Age must be environmentally very responsible!
Some of our competition state that they can provide mulch products & installation services for homeowners & contractors” so you do not have to do the hard work themselves. But they don’t state any of the negative points of what that so called time and effort saving application method entails.
They continue with the suggestion: “Put your wheel barrows away and let us take all the “work” out of yard work and mulching. They neglect to state, how detrimental the force of blowing wood fiber in and around plants and flower is. We have attended several trade shows and demonstrations on actual customers and have come to the conclusion that mulching with blowers is environmentally not a very responsible action.
Blowing mulch creates also excessive amounts of dust. Therefore customers, their neighbors, home owners up and down the road who are allergic to dust will not have a good day or two when a company blows, rather than wheelbarrows in the mulch. So maybe one can spend more time doing what you want to do, as they say. But such as replacing plants and flowers that got damaged by the forced air delivery, nursing your dust allergies are not very constructive.
Until some mechanical device can be developed that easily and mechanically can deliver mulch closer to the area where it is needed, we have to continue to use the wheelbarrow. A Pennsylvania company who presently builds very efficient small topdressing equipment www.earthandturf.com has a small mulcher under study.
Our competition goes on to say that mulch and soil products give you a beautiful weed free yard that our neighbors will all be talking about and we agree.
