ABSTRACT:
A mulching and shredding attachment for use on lawn mowers or lawn vacuums held in place by a bracket which uses a lever (44) and a clevis pin (54) so that the mulcher can easily be removed or lifted up while remaining attached to said lawn equipment. The mulcher is made of rigid material and shaped into a chute (10) and uses a bottom plate (24) and an adjustable deflector (20) which allows lawn debris to be directed into the lawn. Inside the mulcher chute (10) is a cutter grid with sharpened blades (16) positioned parallel with the natural travel of exiting lawn debris as it passes through the mulcher chute (10). The cutter grid is fastened by a rod (34) which permits up and down movement of said cutter grid. This movement is limited by means of a lever (32) attached to the upper end of the cutter grid as it comes in contact with the upper inside surface of the mulcher chute (10). The horizonal position of the sharpened blades (30) allows a variety of materials, including leaves, pine needles, twigs, ect. to be properly shredded and mulched, even when wet.
