For Easy Mulch Creation, Get a Wood Shredder
If you are a homeowner, cleaning up the yard can be a simple task if you have only a few trees and bushes. If you live in a wooded area or have a lot with heavy vegetation, maintenance can require constant attention.
Winter months can take a toll on yards with all the broken tree limbs and fallen leaves. Picking them up can be time consuming and hard on your body. If you don't have the money to hire someone you might want to invest in a wood shredder. Because even if you have the time and energy to clean it all up, what are you going to do with it?
Wood shredders create mulch which can be used in gardens or around the base of trees and shrubs for a decorative landscape. If consider purchasing a wood chipper you would need to consider what you are using it for. Small wood chippers cost around 0 and larger ones retail at about 00. When you compare these machines to commercial machines they are totally affordable. Industrial versions of wood shredders cost around ,000.
Rent or Buy
Wood shredders are a much more convenient option than rakes and bags but you have to ask yourself if you want to purchase one or just rent. Some jobs can be too much to handle in one day or even a weekend and after you rent one you might find that you'd like to have one at your disposal or that it's not worth having. So, maybe renting one is the best way to make an informed decision before you purchase.
You can find a local rental facility at rentallocator.com. Be aware though that sometimes, as with any rental equipment you might not even be using the highest quality machine. There are many horror stories about rental machines of this caliber. Sometimes they are too heavy, or they break down but that isn't always the case.
There are also terrible stories about people loosing arms, hands and fingers so please be aware of your own safety if you rent or buy a machine like this. Evaluate the machine for safety; check to see if the belts, shafts, and cutting mechanisms covered. Follow these safety guidelines:
1. Wear protective glasses or goggles, read the directions and never work alone.
2. Keep children, observers, and pets far away from the area where you are operating the shredder.
3. Only put approved materials into the machine at recommended feed rates.
Top brands for residential home wood chippers are said to be Troy Bilt, Echo Bearcat, Craftsman, MTD, and Patriot. Reviews on these manufacturers are available at Popularmechanics.com and Amazon.com.

How to Use Mulch
We all know what mulch is. We see it as the byproduct when we mow our lawn or when we process our yard wastes using a shredder, chipper or mulcher. It's common knowledge that it is beneficial to the soil, but do you know how to use it properly?
Yes, there is a proper way to using mulch. In fact, the incorrect way of using it can make it turn toxic, which harms our plants and can even kill them. This makes it important to learn the do's and don'ts of how to use mulch.
Here are the things you should know about using mulch:
DON'T - Never use weeds as your raw material. Remember that weeds are very hardy plants that can survive in many types of conditions where other plants cannot. Using them as raw material for your mulch can introduce weeds into your garden.
DO - Always use dry leaves or twigs or other organic wastes as your raw material. Remember that wet or moist mulch is much more susceptible to toxicity than dry mulch.
DON'T - Don't pile mulch higher than 4 inches and make sure they're stored loosely. This will allow your mulch to breath. When it is piled compactly, you create pockets of mulch that don't get any oxygen, which causes a reaction that turns it into toxic mulch.
DO - Turn mulch regularly. This ensures that all your mulch receive sufficient oxygen all around, which is required for it to decompose properly.
DO - When buying mulch from garden stores, allow it to air outdoors before using it. Turn it frequently and make sure it is loosely placed. This will allow you to head off any problems with toxicity from improper storage.
DO - When in doubt about whether the mulch is toxic or not, do a plant test. Choose mulch that's been stored in the center of the mulch bag or pile. Use it around an inexpensive plant and observe it. The effects of toxicity will be apparent quickly within just a couple of days. Your plant will show signs of wilting, dryness and leaf burn when it comes into contact with toxic mulch.
DO - When applying mulch on your garden, a thickness of about 2 inches is great for preventing soil erosion and rapid evaporation of moisture from the soil.
DO - Give your plant some room. Allow a perimeter of 4 to 6 inches from the base of the trunk of the plant before putting mulch. We do not want it right up to the trunk of your plant.
DON'T - In areas where you want to grow new plants, do not put mulch. It will keep sunlight from reaching the soil.
DON'T - If you notice a sour vinegar like smell from your mulch, do not put it on your plants. If it's already in your garden, cart them away to air them out and release the toxins. A sour smell is one of the sure signs of toxicity. Toxic mulch can cause serious damage to your plants.
