GardenStraw is made with 100% sustainably sourced wheat straw that conserves water, prevents weeds, improves soil health and protects your plants.
Extremely versatile, GardenStraw can be used for gardens, raised beds, containers and pots planted with vegetables, herbs, fruit trees/shrubs and flowers. It’s also great for lawn seeding and patch repair.
Beginning of the gardening season: 3 easy steps!
Step 1: Weed your garden prior to application
Step 2: Place a 2-3 inch layer of straw while remaining 1 inch away from crowns and stems
Step 3: Water thoroughly - this ensures the straw stays in place naturally!
During the gardening season:
At the end of the gardening season:
Simply mix it back into the soil or leave it as protection for your soil! GardenStraw decomposes quickly and improves your soils’ health and fertility.
Due to the nature of the sustainably sourced wheat plant, not all wheat seeds are removed from the straw during harvest. Through a unique and all-natural process, most wheat seeds are filtered out. While they strive to remove every wheat seed, it’s not a perfect process; therefore, occasional wheat seeds will sneak through and may sprout in your garden.
That said, unlike grass and weeds, once the wheat seedling is removed (easy to pluck), it won’t regrow and you will continue to experience the many benefits of the GardenStraw mulch - water conservation, weed growth prevention, protecting soils’ microbiome and plants from soil borne diseases, and more.
