The pine straw is very nice in appearance. Very disappointed that it was so costly and did NOT cover 400 sq. ft. Should get three boxes for the money and to cover that amount of space.

Thanks Pine Straw

Very grateful for this product. Have been using it as bedding/litter for an outdoor cat enclosure and just purchased two large boxes for garden mulch. Looking forward to getting the garden going.

Best Mulch Ever!

We originally decided to try pine straw as a replacement for bark mulch and other such products. It looks good, is not harmful to pets due to its natural state (no dyes, etc). Most important-it stays where it is put! We used to have problems with standing water after heavy rains in the Midwest due to uneven terrain. Bark mulch would float all over the yard, requiring a massive cleanup. Pine mulch stays in place, allowing rain to pass through it. I found The Pine Straw Store online and called to find out how much I needed and was very happy with the helpfulness of employees in this day and age of automated everything! Delivery is fast and ordering online is easy. We were immediately happy with our decision. We have since leveled the terrain in our yard and could use bark but love the look and performance of pine straw! Like they say: ”why have a hamburger when you already have steak?” Pine straw and The Pine Straw Store is the best.

Superb Ground Cover for Gardens & Dogs!

We have a small Midwestern garden filed with shade from towering conifers which requires a ground cover for our entire garden area to eliminate muddy dog paws! Pine straw provides the perfect ground cover for our naturalized garden because it withstands our four-season weather, protects our plants and is dog friendly. It looks terrific and has staying power so it doesn’t float from rain or melting snow. It is light to allow our perennial seedlings to sprout in the spring, inter-weaves to prevent summer weeds and serves as a protective blanket to our plants & bulbs during our cold winters. Our dogs can frolic on the soft Pine Straw covering our garden soil without concerns of them chewing wood mulch and having muddy paws.

Back to the future

I grew up down South and everyone used pine straw mulch so I was always hopeful that I could mulch my flower beds that way too but it just wasn't available in Northern Virginia and I was using cedar bark mulch. For a few years now all that was labeled as cedar bark mulch was just a blend of hardwood mulch with just enough cedar to give it a faint scent and that brought on an infestation of artillery fungus that covered my vehicles in little black spore pods so I yanked it all out. I was so very happy to find The Pine Straw Store and that they shipped to my area. I will be ordering more soon.
