The number-one rule for water conservation in your garden is to mulch. Put simply, the addition of mulch to your garden beds can prevent water loss by up to 25 per cent, reducing evaporation rates and increasing the water storage capacity of your soil.
Soil is the starting point for life in the garden (and in the forest, bush and grassland). It is continually being made in one of nature's great cycles. We can't make it - the plants and animals do - but we can assist the process by regularly returning organic materials to the earth. Mulching also suppresses weeds (which compete with your plants for nutrients and water), provides a stable soil temperature (better for plant growth) and, of course, saves water.
Our range of garden chippers are high performance mulchers, designed to process all your unwanted garden, farm or orchard refuse such as prunings, vines, leaves, weeds, roots, vegetable matter, paper, hay and kitchen waste into valuable compost and/or mulch.
