From tree fruit to vegetable beds, from bramble crops
to vineyards, organic mulch and compost can reduce
chemical input for weed suppression, retain soil moisture,
and improve soil fertility by adding organic matter to sandy
and clay soils
Now Millcreek eliminates the costly labor needed for
organic mulch and compost application The remarkable
new Millcreek Row Mulcher works with all types of organic
material, and even lets you adjust the depth and width of
the mulch rows
Starting under J5OOO, no other machine compares when
it comes to capabilities, versatility, and cost effectiveness
