Taking the work out of yard work
Are you a homeowner who
would prefer to save extra cash by
taking care of your lawn yourself,
but feel you just don't have the
equipment to do so? Well never
fear! The problem isn't that the
equipment is not out there for you,
it's that you probably don't know
what is available and right for your
needs.
For the millions who take fall
yard care into their own hands, the
garden industry has been working
hard to develop new equipment that
is aimed at taking the "work" out of
"yard work." A variety of recently-
introduced equipment helps get fall
clean-up done quickly, efficiently
and safely, while providing an
efficient means for reducing today's
environmental waste problems.
Leaf Mulchers
One cannot help but admire the
beautiful array of colours that fall
brings, but what it "leaves" behind,
literally and figuratively, is not
quite as pleasant. The leaves
collected from an average autumn
raking of a medium sized lawn can
easily fill a multitude of garbage
bags. But, many local landfills are
near maximum capacity, so
municipalities are refusing to
accept yard waste, while others are
charging as much as $3.50 per bag
to cart the debris away. Many
homeowners, therefore, choose to
burn their leaf piles, but that
method of disposal is fraught with
numerous environmental, legal and
potential safety consequences.
The most sensible and cost-
effective alternative is shredding
leaves and recycling them into
mulch. Homeowners can now shred
wet or dry leaves easily, reducing
as many as eleven bags of leaves
into one. The shredded leaves can
then be spread two- to four-inches
deep around trees, shrubs or flower
beds as a great mulch. This is a
smart way to provide your garden
with proper nutrients while both
protecting the environment and
saving money.
Branch Chipper/Shredders
Another common problem that
gardeners face is disposing of
unwanted twigs and branches that
have collected on their lawn. Once
again restrictions on organic waste
disposal encourage homeowners to
recycle, which is why garden tool
manufacturers have produced
chipper/shredders to take care of
the debris. For instance, a
chipper/shredder/mulcher allows
home gardeners to reduce twigs
and branches as thick as 2 1/2
inches in diameter into wood chips
that are ideal for use as a decora-
tive, weed-suppressing mulch in
garden beds. These can be operated
in standing or lying down positions
and come with a reusable collec-
tion bag and an automatic shut-off
device for maximum operator
safety. When operating any piece
of power equipment, users should
wear gloves and safety goggles for
added protection.
Compost Bins
Where mulch is primarily used as
a topdressing, compost is consider-
