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?"
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.
