Does this take the place mulch ? or should you stell put mulch over 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.

It takes the place of mulch for me. It is made of material that lets water go thru. It will not wash away as mulch would in some cases. It will last for quite some time, even years. I have had mine for a couple of years and it is still as good as the day I laid it down.

yes, you mostly just unfold the handle out of the box and hook on either the mulch plug or grass bag. We started parking it in the garage after we were noticing some corrosion on the handle when left under the deck.

I put landscaping fabric to prevent any weeds, but heavy duty fabric or even a tarp would probably keep your soils from mixing. The kit fits together nicely so you would have a flat structure to attach treated boards if you'd prefer.

The mulching kit works great. You'll only have to rake if you have a ton of leaves, and even then I think you can just leave them. The leaves get chopped up pretty finely.

Yes. I have the exact same thing happening here in Pennsylvania and you can vacuum the leaves only and leave the mulch pretty much in place.

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!

With one season under it, so far mine seems to be..... Mulches like a dream, even with a little slow of a blade speed and thick grass almost all the clippings vanish-slip below the tops of the grass to the ground where they become fertilizer quicker. You can cut the lawn and only get a couple clippings on your shoes-normally they'd be covered. The bag loads evenly, so you are getting full use from that.... note however the bag draws more battery so you won't be able to clear as much territory. ... the unit is light enough you can pick it up easily with one hand from the handle on top of housing (well balanced placement) but still heavy enough to stay on the ground when in use. Pushes easy. ... I'd better stop now...

I use the mower without the bag to mulch for regular weekly mowing. You can use either of the 2 settings while mulching.

Some models don't have the mulch insert. Instead there's a dial you set to either mulch or bag. See manual.

I just put mulching blades on mine as well. I have yet to use the catcher this season but I think they would work just fine.

I've never used it to mulch but I suspect it does a good job. Great lawnmower. It is a bit heavy and takes some effort to push but that's due to its solid construction. Never had to pull twice to start it...and that's a plus.

I have gravel and it picks up leafs but leaves the gravel. Some gravel will go up but will not make it to the mulcher

The grass goes down near your feet. but not that much. I do love it. ALL grass cutters throw out grass.I do not ue the cover because I store it in the basement because I live in a Condo. MY BEST TO YOU, AL.

This is a permanent setup. Place it in your yard and leave it there. Not appropriate for setup and take down, picnics etc.

I put both of mine over rock. I would think you might get weeds coming up thru. I love this product and thinking of ordering a third one.

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.

It is supposed to mulch with the exisiting blade. It won't win any prizes for doing so.
