Mulching Kits and Grass Mulchers

Mulching kits transform your lawn mower into a grass mulcher that can shred grass and leaves to nourish the soil. Learn what a mulcher is and how to use your lawn mower as one to get the most out of your lawn.


Frequently Asked Questions


Q: What’s a mulcher?

A: A mulcher is a machine that shreds organic matter, such as grass, wood and leaves to create mulch — a material that supports plant growth as microorganisms break it down. While many mulchers are stand-alone machines designed to shred heavy-duty materials, such as wood, lawn mowers can become lighter-duty mulchers when they have the right attachments. Mulching kits convert a push or riding mower into a grass mulcher, shredding grass and leaves.


Discover more ideas to help your lawn thrive in our guide on that topic, Basic Lawn Care and Maintenance Tips.


Q: What does a mulching kit do on a mower?

A: A mulching kit converts a lawn mower into a grass mulcher. Kits may include special mulching blades, hardware and a cover for output. Some items may come separately. Attaching a mulching kit changes the function of a push or riding lawn mower to shred grass and leaves. When you leave the shredded material on the lawn, it provides valuable nutrients to the soil.


Q: Can any mower be a mulcher?

A: Not every mower can be a mulcher. Mulching kits are available for both push and riding lawn mowers, but kits fit only specified makes and models. If you’re considering a mulching kit, be sure to check the manufacturer’s guidelines to make sure that the kit is compatible with your current lawn mower. For example, you could use a John Deere mulching kit on many models of John Deere lawn mowers, but it wouldn’t work with mowers from other brands.
