Im completely new to gardening and have just brought a house on a huge block filled with beautifull gardens. The last owners had a gardener but we cant afford one and so I am trying to stay on top of it! I have been doing lots of pruning and trimming and have a ridiculous amount of garden waste, is there someway I can turn it all into mulch to reuse on my garden, without having to buy a mulcher? Thank you
Please help re: reusing trimmings for mulch
No. It will turn into a matted moldy mess, breed insects, and block water from getting to the soil. Either buy a mulcher or start a compost pile, preferably the latter.
