Why use Pine straw?
Pine straw is an excellent insulator that protects plant roots both in summer and winter. Also, having a layer of pine needles on the soil surface helps maintain the moisture in the soil. This benefits the plants because it will allow them to establish deep root systems.
When the soil surface is unprotected from the sun, it will dry out. Pine straw breaks down slower than bark materials, and this means the benefits last longer. Additionally, it is good around acid-loving plants like hydrangeas, rhododendrons, and camellias. There are many ways you will find to use pine straw in your garden with it being affordable and plentiful.

What is pine straw, and why is it used as mulch?
Pine straw consists of the needles naturally shed by pine trees. It's an excellent mulching material
that helps retain moisture, control weeds, prevent erosion, and regulate soil temperature. It’s also
eco-friendly, as it decomposes slowly, enriching the soil over time.
How much pine straw do I need?
Typically, one roll of pine straw covers about 80 square feet at a depth of around 3 inches.
