Forestry Mulching: Everything You Need To Know
Forestry mulching is a land-clearing technique that involves the use of a single machine to cut all unwanted trees, vines, as well as brush, to eliminate unwanted plants, and at the same time leaving a good mulch layer that can be worked on. Forestry mulching is more efficient compared to using tractors and chainsaws with a bush hog, and it saves on costs compared to a loader, bulldozer, and hauler. This efficient method can eliminate or stems and stumps, leaving a clear surface where operations leading to planting can be carried out freely.
The mulch made prevents erosion a great deal and gives additional nutrients to the soil. A forestry mulcher can work in densely populated forests that are difficult for large machinery to access. Forestry mulchers can also work during severe weather conditions, even in areas that are soft and vulnerable, meaning forestry mulching can be carried out throughout the year. The best thing about it is that forestry mulching is very friendly to the environment compared to other methods; the land isn’t burned, needed trees are left undamaged and their roots are protected.
Why Is there a Need to Use Forestry Mulching?
In a few words, forestry mulching is the best method for your buck. Three methods can be used to clear unwanted vegetation: forestry mulcher, tractor/chainsaw, and loader/hauler/bulldozer. Hand-cutting has little equipment costs but they’re inefficient and can end up being labor costly. Using a bulldozer, loader and hauler may be an efficient method though costly, both due to the equipment and labor. Forestry mulching which is one-machine, one-operator involves little equipment usage and has got better operator costs and efficiency compared to the other two methods. Since trees and any other vegetation are processed where they stand, in forestry mulching, time is saved which could be used in processes like cutting and hauling, and the whole process also costs less.
Forestry mulching is also the most environmentally friendly way of clearing land. Since one machine is used, fuel requirements are emissions are few as well as the disturbance on to the soil and wanted vegetation. Forestry mulchers don’t change the soil structure, and the mulched vegetation can be left on the surface to prevent any form of soil erosion.
Forestry mulchers can also be used to clear land on steep slopes, during wet weather, and in most cases, no permit is needed, and that’s why this is the best method to use.
