Mulch Operations
We use an MC266 from
Rotochopper whose tagline is "Perfect in One
Pass". We chose the machine
because it has the ability to grind 15 tons of material in an hour which gives
us the opportunity to increase our production to meet demand. Currently we
grind approximately 30 tons in 6 hours, which translates to approximately 7,000
tons of mulch annually.
Colored Mulch
From Late March until August we grind colored mulch. We use Mulch Magic from Colorbiotics because we feel it is the best dye on the market. Not only will our dye not bleed into the surrounding plants, vegetables and soil, it will look great the entire year. The dye is made from natural additives and does not harm any plants or vegetables the mulch covers, or the environment.
Playground Safety Surface Material
During the summer we also grind playground safety surface material and sell it to local schools and municipalities. Our playground safety surface material meets or exceeds ASTM 1292, the standard for cushioning falls from playground equipment. Playground surfaces should be replenished at least every three years for average use and sooner for high use to maintain proper safety standards.
