Finally, a practical way to apply
organic mulch to row crops
Organic mulch is the natural way to suppress
weeds, help retain soil moisture, and improve soil
conditions. Trouble is, hand mulching takes too
much time and effort. Now the Millcreek Row
Mulcher makes it easy and affordable to mulch
berries, grapes, fruit trees, and other row crops.
One operator can mulch an acre in just a couple
hours depending on conditions.
Spread A Variety of Materials, Including lime
You can spread all types of stemless flowable
mulches, such as wood chips, sawdust, chopped
bark, even compost, with plenty of clearance to
avoid plant damage. Plus, the Millcreek Row
Mulcher is ideal for banding lime and other
materials requiring lighter applications. The optional
metering gate gives you complete control of the
coverage so you can tailor applications to best suit
yobr cultivation practices. With the labor-saving
versatility you get with the Millcreek Row Mulcher,
you may even find new techniques to grow
better crops.
