A machine that turns your lawn's worst day into its mattress for winter.
means A machine or blade attachment that shreds leaves, clippings, or brush into small pieces for ground cover or disposal.
from Traces back to 'mulch,' likely from a dialectal English word related to 'melsh' or 'molsh' meaning soft or moist — describing the rotting straw and leaves farmers once laid over soil to protect it. 'Mulcher,' the agent noun for the machine that makes mulch, is a much newer addition, arriving once engines could do in minutes what a rake and patience used to do all autumn.
