Pine Straw Benefits
Why use pine straw as a natural landscaping mulch?
There are many benefits to using pine straw as natural garden mulch. First and foremost, pinestraw is a natural by-product; meaning pine straw is discarded by pine trees naturally. Pine needles (straw) helps provide excellent growing conditions for healthy trees, plants and shrubs.
Pine Straw Benefits:
Visual Appearance:
Our pine straw is hand raked, cleaned and baled and has a beautiful auburn color. Pine Straw holds the auburn color longer than most other garden mulches and cuts down time and cost for re-applying pine straw to your garden.
Easy to Apply:
Pine straw bales are easy to apply and reduce maintenance to your garden or landscape. Not to mention it reduces garden pests; does not have or attract termites!
Erosion Control:
Using pine straw as organic mulch is a great choice if you live in a state where it rains quite often. Pine Straw is long lasting, doesn't float or wash away and prevents soil erosion unlike other mulches.
Pine Straw breaks down slowly over time, so it doesn't need to be applied as often as other landscaping mulches. Pine straw adheres well to slopes and will help your garden or landscape resist erosion acting as a blanket shielding plants from harsh weather.
Lightweight:
Pine Straw is lightweight, easier to handle and lighter per cubic foot than most other mulches. Pine Straw bales from Custom Pine Straw are highly compressed bales; 12"x13"x28" containing over 60 square feet of pine straw when applying the recommended 2-3".
Plant & Soil Health:
Using Pine Straw for your landscape mulch promotes better soil and plant health. Pine Needles are high in nitrogen so when the needles start to decompose it acts like a fertilizer to your plants, shrubs and trees.
Pine Straw doesn't compact and allows better water filtration. Pine straw helps insulate your plants by keeping them cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Weed Control:
Pine needle is also excellent for weed deterrent as it reduces their growth and protects your shrubs and trees from rotting. When using pine straw to reduce the amount of weeds in your landscape, apply it at about 3" deep. The deeper the pine straw, the better the protection is against weeds.
