Organic Garden Straw Mulch — 10 lb (Covers up to 150 sq ft) for Raised Beds, Lawn Seeding, Tomatoes & Vegetables

Keep soil cooler and hold moisture longer with this 10 lb bale of organic garden straw, covering up to 150 sq ft. The straw layer reduces how often you water and provides shade that helps cool-season crops like cilantro, lettuce, spinach and broccoli resist premature bolting so they produce longer into warmer weather. Ideal for establishing new lawns: use it on early spring or late fall grass seedings to add warmth and retain moisture. The straw also protects seed from being washed or blown away by heavy rain, overwatering or strong winds, helping your new grass get a solid start. Truly organic and compostable — there are NO added chemicals. As the straw breaks down it adds organic matter and nutrients back into your soil and encourages worm habit, improving soil structure over time. Natural weed suppression and water savings: the straw blocks sunlight that would otherwise trigger weed germination, covering the soil to inhibit unwanted seeds. It can also help reduce high summer watering needs.
