FAQs

Why are my plants dying after mulching?

If your plants are dying after mulching, the most common cause is mulch being applied too thick or placed directly against the stems. A heavy mulch layer can trap excess moisture, reduce airflow, and create fungal conditions that harm plant roots. When mulch touches the base of the plant, it can cause stem rot, attract pests, or suffocate young growth.

Another reason is using mulch made from fresh wood chips or partially decomposed material, which can temporarily pull nitrogen from the soil as it breaks down. This nutrient imbalance may stress sensitive plants or slow their growth.

Improper mulching during hot weather can also lead to heat buildup, especially with dark mulch that absorbs sunlight. This can “cook” shallow roots or dry out the soil faster than expected.

While forestry mulching equipment like the Forax HD72 Heavy Duty Mulcher produces excellent ground cover for controlling brush and erosion, that mulch should be kept a few inches away from plant bases and applied in layers no deeper than 2–4 inches.

How long does a tractor mulcher last?

A well-maintained tractor mulcher can last anywhere from 1,500 to 5,000+ hours of operation, depending on the build quality, terrain, hydraulic system, and how aggressively it’s used. Light-duty brush work puts far less strain on a mulcher compared to continuous forestry cutting or clearing rocky terrain.

Heavy-duty models like the Forax HD72 Heavy Duty Mulcher, and compact models such as the HP40 Ultra-Light Mulcher or GP40 Gas Powered Mulcher, are engineered for long service life when operators follow proper maintenance routines and avoid pushing the attachment beyond its rated limits.

What is the main purpose of mulching?

The main purpose of mulching is to control vegetation, improve soil health, and create a cleaner, safer, and more manageable landscape. In land management, mulching uses a specialized attachment—such as a tractor mulcher, forestry mulcher, or brush cutter—to shred brush, vines, and saplings directly into the soil surface. This creates a natural mulch layer that supports both short-term clearing and long-term land restoration.

Mulching helps maintain trails, clear overgrown properties, reduce fire hazards, and prepare land for farming, construction, or forestry work. Unlike traditional clearing methods that disturb or remove topsoil, mulching leaves the ground intact and covers it with shredded organic material that begins breaking down and enriching the soil.
