Straw Mulch
Straw mulch is a natural, organic ground cover made from dried stalks of cereal grains such as wheat, oats, or barley. Unlike wood-based mulches, straw is lightweight and easy to spread, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.
The straw attribute is especially valued for its ability to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and protect newly seeded lawns or gardens from erosion. Its loose, airy structure allows for excellent water infiltration while providing insulation to plant roots. Straw mulch is commonly used in vegetable gardens, around newly planted grass seed, and on slopes to prevent soil loss. It decomposes over time, enriching the soil with organic matter. However, it may need to be replenished more frequently than wood mulches and can sometimes contain weed seeds if not sourced carefully.Applications & Uses
