Is this used over or under mulch?

It can be used in both ways. It is more effective used under mulch. Less evaporation.

We don't mulch because of the increase growth of weeds. But if I used mulch, I would put it under the mulch.

Well I am not sure. Its not like straw which you could use after seeding its much more fine and dusty. I used it more like a filler for holes and as regular mulch for my bushes. I hope this helps you.

Yes you can mulch. The mulch will be a fine grade. This is a wonderful machine.

I would have to double check but pretty sure it is. They do recommend using it underneath some type of enclosure. We have ours underneath a covered pergola.

Pat, There's no real trick just be sure that small turned up slots are on the top of the blade and everything else will fall into place. If you have a deflector to cover the grass discharge it will greatly improve the performance of the cut & mulch.

Our grandsons use it on our long paved driveway. I think it would be okay over grass depending on how long the grass and rough the terrain. I wouldn't say it's designed to do that.

Operationally I'd say no. Not a bad idea, however, as it is a vacuum based system pulling air and leaves etc into the cloth bag, the material the bag is made of has to have a certain weave/porosity factor to allow the air drawn in to flow through with the leaves and escape, otherwise the bag would pop like an overblown balloon. Just as easy to open the bag and dump the mulch into a yard waste recycling container.

I found it better to put straw on top then water for the wet paper is very unstable and rips after wet. The straw makes more of a weave over the paper than mulch and helps protect the paper. Then you can easily walk over it without ripping the paper. Make sure you have straw and not hay. Plus the straw decays nicely over the winter while it can be reused on second planting of winter root crops. Hope this helps.

Yes, if you use the lower speed setting you should be able to avoid picking up mulch.

No, I used garden spikes to hold it on top of the ground and the grass grew over it. The lawn mower didn't affect it either. Sure saved quite a bit of work installing it. I've had our fence for almost 3 years and its wonderful!

Yes definitely! Its really sturdy we have it in a rock box instead of a sandbox the kids dig up rocks with it so mulch should not be a problem!

Looks like mulch. The pieces are not uniform in size. They are shredded rubber not preformed pellets.

the grass is propelled towards the operator and to the left .... most of it goes into the grass "catcher" that you should probably have attached....that way you can use the cut grass for composting. Compared to weed whacking, for example, having cut grass fall on your feet , if it overshoots the 'catcher', isn't going to be a problem

it should; part of mine was buried (not on purpose). it might be better, though, if you could put mulch on top.

Hello, On installing the mulch cover you can just leave your discharge chute on and install the mulch cover under it. Makes it fast and easy. Thank, CF

In my experience it will not effectively mulch, especially if the material is moist. I have found that this unit works best on small branches and not much else. Having the first unit fail and the second one perform much less than advertised I would not recommend this unit for anything other than small dry branches 1/2 inch or smaller, and I am hesitant to recommend that.

It's a heavy duty fabric and I expect that it will last for several years under bark mulch. That being said, I've only had it installed for about a year now. So I cannot give you any first hand long term info.
