Keeping the garden green includes regular mulching. A chipper shredder turns home plant waste such as fallen branches and shrub clippings into mulch. A chipper shredder is also good for converting fall leaves into fuel for spring plants. With a chipper shredder on hand, yard maintenance should become easier. Homeowners can be sure their own mulch is free of pesticides and other chemiocals sometimes found in bagged mulch. Mulch can be used to maintain moisture in flower beds and eventually will turn to good soil. Those who compost may want to mix the garden shreds in for a richer endproduct.
