Mulching robot?


I am planning on getting 75 yards of wood chips delivered to mulch an orchard we are putting in. For me the mulching robot will be a bobcat I rent to help spread it :)

For reference, 75 yards of wood chips (3 tractor trailer loads) + bobcat rental to spread costs $1000 in Bay Area. And provides years or weed prevention, water retention, and soil improvement.


Presumably you have seen those vacuum things that pump the mulch out? They do all the motorway berms with them here. Take care you don't go too thick with the mulch as it burns very well and when fresh gets very hot. It's midwinter here and the inside of a pile was too hot to comfortably touch last week.


I have already submitted a YC application about our new SkyMulch Drone powered by Google Cloud ML Engine.
