Abstract: A baled mulch applicator for the uniform application of baled mulch material from bales to a plurality of furrows between rows of soil on cultivated land to control soil erosion and increase crop yield. The apparatus has a plurality of bale chambers dapted to accept bales which are advanced in the bale chambers towards a plurality of beaters on a single rotating shaft. The beaters break up and distribute the material through a deflector hood to the furrows. The individual bale chambers are spaced apart a distance which corresponds to the distance between the furrows.
