It's time for cleaning in the garden and the moment when we find ourselves with a large quantity of dry organic matter which, in the compost, has difficulty in evolving into a quality compost . How to compost?
It is therefore necessary to reduce this dry matter . But shredders don't particularly like leaves, straw and hay. Bad grinding, blocked blade… Here is the best way to reduce into small pieces these elements. The use of a special clearing blade called U-shaped blade , attached to the end of a backpack brushcutter, will make this job quick and efficient.
On the other hand, beware of projections and dust. You have to protect yourself and also protect those around you. Wearing a dust mask, helmet, goggles and gloves is mandatory. And no children around. The cat has already had to leave…
If the mulch ends up composting, it above all helps to maintain a certain humidity at the base of the plants, to avoid the settling of heavy rains, erosion by this rain or the wind, the emergence of weeds. It also allows the protection of a very useful soil fauna to limit certain insects or insect larvae. The number of gastropods is also reduced.
If you opt for composting, you will mix the product obtained by shredding dry matter with so-called green organic matter; freshly mowed lawn or pulled grass. Then, the product obtained is put in a heap, taking careto water the different layers.
Time will do the rest!
Arrived at the end of winter here is what you can do with mulch.
