WHAT GARDENERS, LANDSCAPERS, AND OTHER PINE STRAW USERS SAY ABOUT USING PINE STRAW
"I love it. Very easy to apply; looks beautiful. My neighbors love it as well. Have received many nice comments."
"People often do not know until they have used pine straw how superior it is to other types of mulch. Thank you."
"I am overjoyed that it really doesn't float as I have placed it on a 30 degree slope and it hasn't moved a bit with the rain and wind we have gotten."
"The pine straw was easily and quickly placed and has made an immediate improvement to the appearance of our front flower beds."
"I love my pinestraw."
"Made my gardening experience easier. I raised great strawberries last winter/spring."
"I got all the bales down and it looks
terrific."
"My aunt used this years ago and had beautiful gardens. I am very happy
with the results. We have had unprecedented rainfall this season and I
have remarkable few weeds. Thank you"
"The pine straw lasted much longer than the hardwood mulch I had been
using. The pine straw from last year is still good, and I have to apply
only 2-3 inches of fresh straw this spring. The pine straw looks good
all summer long."
"I think the pine straw is going to work out very well. It looks good in
the various flower beds, is very easy to work with, and seems to be
holding the moisture in, which is very important at this time."
"I needed a mulch
that my two dogs wouldn't eat yet provide for the plants. I love this
stuff!
"We have an awkward property to access. This was so much easier than
lugging bags out there. It was much easier to handle and spread too.
Looks neat and lovely!"
"My landscaped beds have never looked more beautiful.
"I have had slugs in my flower beds for years, and now with the pine
straw, NONE! I had read that they don't like the pine straw and that is
right!"

much."

landscaping great. Very easy to use and handle. I have had many people
over to see this and many people stop to ask what kind of mulch it was."
"It is beautiful. Just what I had expected."
"The pine straw is lightweight and easily
spread, and it looks great in my garden."
"I have fallen in love with pine straw! My roses have never
looked better."
"It looks great."
"My purple martins are going to love this soft pine straw for their
nesting needs!
"I love it! I ordered it for my beds in my back yard. I wanted
something light and airy because of northern exposure and
wetness. I also have 3 dogs who love to walk through the beds
and always have black, muddy feet afterwards. This works GREAT!!
No more muddy, black feet. Ohio is known for its heavy clay soil."
"We love how our flower beds look...have had several people ask us
where we got the pine straw because of how beautiful our yard looks!!"
"I love my pine straw."
"It looks beautiful."
"Next March when the Purple Martins return they'll find nice warm
pine straw in their apartments. We can have snow on the ground in
March here in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, so they can really require pine straw
to survive the cold."
"We were very impressed with the pine straw."
"Great product."
"I love my pine straw!! My flower beds look so much better, and I'm sure my plants will love it too."
"Will use again and recommend to neighbors."
"It's great in the veggie garden. Lightweight and easily manageable."
"The pine straw matches the look of the surroundings well and
provides a substrate that is easy for us to clean and replace
without destroying the soil in the exhibit. The animals, particularly
the pandas do also enjoy it as bedding."
"We are using the pine straw for our Purple Martin gourds. I learned
of pine needles for nesting materials online and so the search was on to
find the product."
"Pine straw is exactly the mulch needed for the wind conditions in
Jack County. Our first batch was laid out during 30-40 mph winds and it
didn't move!!! Hurray!"
"I
plan to use the pine straw mulch in the vegetable garden this year--no more sprouted wheat or oat straw!"
