Mulch has many proven benefits for your garden soil. It is composed of organic materials such as wood chips, animal manure or straw.
So if you need to remove some trees and shrubs on your property, why not take advantage of this readily available source of mulch. A shredding machine can do this job.
These machines remove trees by cutting and shredding them into small pieces of useful mulch. You can leave this valuable material in place or easily pick it up and move it to other areas of your garden.
In this blog we will tell you how forest mulching can benefit you.
1. Forest Mulch Is Environmentally Friendly
Land clearing has a bad reputation in ecologically sensitive areas, as it destroys animal habitats and promotes erosion.
Forest mulching takes a gentler approach to removing unwanted vegetation. What it does is accelerate the natural process of decay and renewal of forests.
There is only one machine involved, which limits damage to the soil and the process leaves a layer of mulch to nourish the soil and create a healthy environment for insects and small creatures.
2. It Is Good For Small Spaces
Heavy-duty mulchers can clear large areas of land quickly, but forestry mulching can also be done on much smaller areas. A crusher can process only one plant at a time when necessary.
This method of land clearing is ideal for gardens, where you want to remove damaged trees, without the impact of heavy vehicles rolling over your lawn.
3. It Is Fantastic For Improving Soil
Forest mulch immediately deposits a layer of attractive and functional organic material in the home.
Mulch has great proven benefits for soil. It decomposes slowly, reduces evaporation and gradually reduces vital nutrients in the soil.
In this way, forest mulch enriches the soil of your garden, reduces soil acidity and raises its PH levels. Additionally it acts as a fire damper and resists the growth of mold and mildew that can damage your plants.
Forest mulching is the perfect start to landscaping your garden or getting rid of unwanted invasive vegetation.
4. Mulching Prevents Erosion
Bare soil is prone to wind and water erosion, leading to poor drainage and a lack of topsoil to nourish new plant growth.
The layers of mulch left behind by a forestry mulcher help weigh down the soil, holding it in place and protecting the root systems of nearby shrubs, trees and natural grasses.
