Ways to Use Garden Straw Mulch Pro+
Practical Applications
Garden Mulch
Spread a layer of straw around your plants to make a mulch. This keeps the soil moist, helps control its temperature, and stops weeds from growing.
Composting
Include straw in your compost pile or bin. It acts as a carbon-rich “brown” material to balance out the nitrogen-rich “green” stuff like kitchen scraps or grass clippings. Tear or cut the straw into smaller pieces to help it break down faster.
Soil Amendment
Mix our seedless straw into your garden soil to enhance its structure and ability to hold water.
Erosion Control
Put loose straw in areas where erosion often happens, like slopes or bare soil, to stop soil from washing away when it rains or gets windy.
100% ORGANIC:
100% Organic: Grown in USDA Certified Organic fields on local family farms in the Pacific Northwest. USDA organic means no GMOs, antibiotics, herbicides, or toxic chemicals are used, making our organic garden straw safe for you and your pets!

Builds soil fertility
Enhances soil structure, helps retain moisture, and increases nutrient availability for healthier plant growth.
Safer for food production
Reduce the chance of chemical residues in your food.
Long-term sustainability
Helps preserve natural resources, lowers environmental impact, and boosts the overall health and resilience of your garden ecosystem.
MOISTURE RETENTION AND COOLING:
Using organic garden straw mulch helps keep your soil moist for longer, reducing the need for frequent watering. The straw cover also provides shade to the soil, preventing cool-season crops from bolting prematurely. This means crops like cilantro, lettuce, spinach, broccoli, and others can thrive longer in warmer months.
USDA Organic Wheat Straw with an OMRI Certified Clay formulation designed to help retain soil moisture will save you time and water while helping your plants grow.
Pros
Practical Applications
Water Conservation
Slowing down water evaporation can decrease the frequency of watering your plants. This allows plants to access moisture for longer periods between watering sessions.
Reducing Watering Frequency
Decrease how often you need to water your plants by slowing down water evaporation, which lets plants access moisture for longer periods between watering sessions.
Regulation of Soil Temperature
The garden mulch layer shields the soil, keeping it from getting too hot and decreasing heat stress on plant roots.
NEW LAWN SEEDING:
Ideal for new yard projects! Organic garden straw mulch offers warmth and moisture for early spring and late fall grass seed applications. It shields grass seed from washing away due to rain, overwatering, or strong winds, ensuring your new grass gets a fantastic start!
Pros
Practical Applications
Weed Suppression
Our Organic Seedless Garden Straw stops weed seeds from reaching the soil surface and sprouting, reducing competition for nutrients, water, and sunlight. This allows grass seeds to establish and grow without interference from weeds.
Organic Matter Addition
Enhances soil fertility, structure, and nutrient availability, promoting the long-term health and vitality of the lawn.
COMPOSTING:
Unlike artificial fabrics, chemicals, or covers, organic seedless garden straw is excellent for the garden . With no added chemicals, your garden and lawn will stay organic, and your soil will be enhanced. As the straw decomposes, it gradually provides nutrients to your garden and lawn, improving your soil and encouraging worm activity.
Pros
Practical Applications
Bulk and Porosity
It offers the right carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, aiding in the decomposition process and creating nutrient-rich compost.
Carbon-Rich Material
It offers the right carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, aiding in the decomposition process and contributing to the creation of nutrient-rich compost.
Sustainable Waste Management
Composting organic seedless garden straw mulch is an environmentally friendly method to handle garden waste.
WEED BARRIER:
Organic garden straw mulch blocks sunlight, preventing hidden weeds from sprouting. Covering the soil with garden straw helps inhibit the germination of unwanted weed seeds. Additionally, it can lead to savings on high summer water bills.
The layer of straw acts as a barrier to prevent weeds from sprouting while allowing air, water, and nutrients to pass through to support plant growth. Also, the garden straw is germination free without sprouting of mulch seeds.
Pro
Practical Application
Weed Suppression
Garden straw acts as a barrier, stopping weed seeds from reaching the soil surface and sprouting. It blocks sunlight from reaching the weeds, stopping their growth and minimizing competition for nutrients, water, and sunlight with your desired plants.
Child and Pet Safe:
As an organic product, Garden Straw Pro+ decomposes naturally without chemicals and is non-toxic for use around edible gardens, children, and pets.
Organic garden straw is available at garden centers, nurseries, or online.
Gardening gloves are essential for protecting your hands while working in the garden.
Step 2: Prepare your garden bed
Clear the garden bed of any weeds, debris, or unwanted plants.
Loosen the soil with a garden fork or tiller to enhance aeration and drainage.
Step 3: Water the garden bed
Before laying down the straw, thoroughly water the garden bed to ensure moist soil.
Step 4: Spread the straw
Take a handful of straw and spread it evenly over the surface of the garden bed, starting from one end and moving to the other.
Try to create a layer of straw approximately 2-4 inches thick. This will help suppress weeds and retain moisture in the soil.
Step 5: Avoid plant stems
While spreading the straw, be cautious not to cover the stems or crowns of any existing plants in your garden. Piling straw around stems can cause moisture buildup and possible rot.
Step 6: Fill in the gaps
Pay attention to any gaps or bare spots in the straw coverage, and add more straw as necessary. The aim is to establish a uniform layer across the entire garden bed.
Step 7: Water the straw
After applying the straw, gently water it to help settle it down and ensure good contact with the soil below.
Step 8: Monitor moisture levels
Check the moisture levels in your garden bed regularly, especially during dry periods. While the garden straw mulch aids in retaining moisture, you may still need to water your plants as needed.
Step 9: Reapply as needed
Over time, the straw may break down or be blown away. Reapply straw as necessary to keep a consistent layer, continue suppressing weeds, and retain moisture.
