GARDENSTRAW - PREMIUM MULCH
GardenStraw Mini is the cleanest, most effective straw mulch on the market. Straw is a fantastic mulch for your garden for a variety of reasons:
  • Organic material that breaks down over time, building your soil
  • Light color reflects more light and heat away from soil surface
  • Adds a boost of nitrogen and carbon to soil season after season as layers break down
  • Natural, aesthetically pleasing look to garden beds, containers, and pots
"Can you plant in the heat of the summer?"
Heat wave of extreme sun and sky background. Hot weather with global warming concept. Temperature of Summer season.
The answer is OF COURSE YOU CAN! Mid summer planting is a great time for many reasons, and here are a few reasons why… Strong inventory options and flash sales plus your tree gets an extra growing time before the heat of next summer. Check out Pine Lane’s Steps for Success to learn more about how to water your new plant material needs.

  • Weed, Weed, Weed! Not only are they unsightly, weeds rob your plants of precious nutrients and moisture
Shrubs, Perennials, Bulbs
  • Prune spring flowering shrubs after the flowers are spent
  • Cut back spring-blooming bulbs after the leaves have completely died back
  • Continue to fertilize your roses once a month
Veggies, Fruits & Herbs
  • Continue to plant warm season veggies (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, corn)
  • Protect your strawberries & cherries from birds and other wildlife with mesh netting
  • Plant your herb seeds like dill, basil, cilantro
Annuals
  • Water daily especially if your baskets are in full day sun or wind. It's best to water in early morning
  • For fantastic color feed your flowering annuals once a week with a water soluble fertilizer high in phosphorous (the middle number on a fertilizer label)
  • Continue to dead head the spent blooms
