Is the deck a mulch?

Nope. Picture isn't clear, but it's pretty much a standard deck. Although consumer reports gave this mower a 'good cut' rating (and it does) this mower is not suited for a hilly, rough yard. If your yard is mostly flat and smooth, then it's OK.

Do not buy this piece of junk I was constantly working on it. Parts are cheap stamped steel.If you can swing a snapper you will be better off in the long run. No it is not a mulcher

Don't buy this lawn mower. The back tire goes flat all the time cause when you turn it rips a huge hole in the tube. We replaced it a lot. We never got to really use it to find out about the deck

Not sure about the deck, but it is a very light mower to push without power, although the variable self propel is nice. I really like it for the price.

It is finely mulched, however, I still use the bagger. Our lawn grows rather quickly.

it is a great mower - not sure of your question - we use bag to collect what is mulched and depose of it

My experience with this is weeds will grow through, although it inhibits growth. Therefore, adding mulch on top will further deter unwanted competition. I do believe it is, however, designed and intended to be used in lieu of mulch.

I would say no, but I don't have a wooden deck, so I can't say for sure. However, it's hard plastic with a durable aluminum strip along the edge. It's a very well made piece, but is not heavy. What do you use on your deck now? It's basically a very big plastic shovel, so if you use a plastic shovel now, it's the same. If you use a metal shovel, this would be even better. Hope this helps.

We absolutely love the mower- it's the best we ever had. As for mulching, I cannot comment on that as we bag everything it picks up and put it in a mulch pile in the corner of our yard, so never really used it as a mulching mower. As a bagging mower it works fine, vacuuming up even small stuff.

I would think so, you could drill holes into the deck, then insert the sleeves into the deck then slot the poles into the sleeves.

Yes, it is a mulching blade. Mine was sharp & ready to install when it arrived.

It has the option to have the side discharge, or to collect into the bag on the back. So yes, I think that does make it a mulching mower. We don't use the bag, so I can't say how well that works, but the mower has been a real gem otherwise.

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

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

My deck is the same way so my husband built a wooden step right on the deck. I am including a picture so that you can see what he did. Hope this helps you.

I think it does. It has been a year and one half and we had a hole drilled for granite. We did not use a deck plate.

This is a Mulching blade. I ordered it and didn't want the mulching blade. Now I'm stuck with three mulching blades.

yes. You have a craftsman mower, 42" deck. This is a recommended mulching blade form that mower.

We use them on our Craftsman 50" deck, if you want to turn it into a leaf mulching machine, I had steel custom cut from my template and drilled holes in my deck, then wired on steel plates to cover deck opening.
