Grass mulching is the recycling of nutrients into the
Soft in a form thtt is readily degradabFe. Acco{ding to
scientists specia!izing in turf study, finely chopped
particles of grass wilt disintegrate into the soit and
be absorbed by the grass roots within t4 days,
To understand how your mulcher cuts and recurs
grass clippings into a fine mu_ch, tiqnk of the mu!tP
love cu tie r b_ade as a fan. The cutter bl3.de b!ows the
grass clippings upward cutting them over and ore, _
as they whirl around the circular track of the
undardeck. When the _raek is loaded wi,_h clippings,
1i_ose nearest the inside, wall of the track are _hrown
downward by down-pi_ched portions of the cutter
bIade. The particles are blown straight into the tud.
(See Figures 9 and 10).
The performance of the mulcher is based on the
shape of the deck. If excess debris col}ec_:s u nder the
deck. it shouid be c_eaned frequently to maintain
peak perfformance.
