- Preparing the Soil: You need to weed and prepare the soil first.
- Speed Mulch: Blanket soil with 2-3 inches of GardenStraw, providing 1 inch space at the plant stem.
- Water Lightly: Once applied, lightly water the mulch to help the straw fibers settle and interlock, ensuring it stays in place.
- Trim Coverage: If needed, cover during the season to a depth of about 2-3 inches.
- End of the Season: Once the growing season is over, it can either be brought to ground level and mixed in as organic matter or left on top as a thick winter blanket.
Applications
GardenStraw isn’t just for vegetable beds. It's a diverse application and can be applied to many gardening activities.
- Vegetable and Edible Gardens: GardenStraw is the top choice for all your vegetables, herbs, and fruits. Keep produce off the ground; a safe, clean, and fast way to mulch to increase your food production with no heavy metals or other contaminants.
- Raised Beds & Containers: Use GardenStraw to help regulate soil temperature, conserve moisture, and improve your raised beds and containers.
- Flower Gardens and Shrubs: Whilst there are flowers, shrubs, and ornamental bushes, not only does the mulch help to make them look terrific, but it also shields the root system of the plants and minimizes your hard work.
- Lawn Seeding & Patch Repair: Used for new lawn seeding or patch repairs, GardenStraw helps maintain moisture around grass seed, control erosion, and protect seed from birds while encouraging grass sprouting. It's also going to decompose naturally, unlike other mulches, which need to be taken out.
- Composting: GardenStraw is a great carbon addition to compost and mixes well, helping to balance food scraps and other nitrogen products. It eliminates odor in compost pails and improves the quality of compost.
