This is my first exposure to the concept of creating my own mulch. But I live on water's edge and the wind robs the soil of a lot of moisture, so I am hoping this process helps hold the moisture. Additionally being on the water using natural fertilizer helps help the water in good shape. 

Pros: Good price, compact size fits where I need it.
Cons: Not the easiest item to assemble. Instructuctions could be more helpful.
