DIRECTIONS FOR USE / SPREADING STRAW
PULL APART & LOOSENAs we try to pack Organic Garden Straw into each size box, it starts out in a clump. Pull apart and loosen the garden straw as you remove it. |
SHAKE OUT SEEDSIf you prefer to have minimal seeds (which also feed the soil with important nutrients), shake out the chaff into the box. |
SPREAD STRAWSpread garden straw mulch liberally over new seeding beds or around plants to provide a protective layer from heavy rain, wind, and scouring during watering, as well as retain soil moisture. |
Why is Organic Straw good for my garden?
- Unlike fabrics and covers, garden straw mulch is actually good for your garden. It’s also good for the earth and the environment. Especially when it doesn’t contain any residual chemicals from spray while being raised on the farms.
- It blocks out the sun, preventing weeds from growing and preventing hidden weed seeds from germinating.
- It holds in moisture, so your soil stays damp longer (this means you won’t need to water as often).
- It shades your soil so cool-season crops don’t bolt as soon (like lettuce, cilantro & broccoli)
- It works as an organic fertilizer and improves your soil. As the garden straw mulch breaks down and composts, it will make your soil better and encourage worms into your garden.
