Organic Garden Straw

For Gardens, Flower Beds, New Lawn Seeding, and Composting

Blue Mountain Hay's Organic Garden Straw mulch will help preserve and enhance your garden, flower beds, and lawn. Apply our chemical-free organic mulch after planting your garden and seeding your lawn. Straw mulch will serve as a protective layer that will slowly feed nutrients into your soil until it has naturally degraded. Straw helps protect grass seed from wind, wash out from rainstorms, and consumption by birds and other animals. It also makes for excellent material to add to your compost bin. So, whether you need a top layer of organic mulch for landscaping or just want garden straw for your small garden, our straw mulch will help keep your garden happy and well.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE / SPREADING STRAW

Garden Straw Step 1 - Pull Apart and Loosen

PULL APART & LOOSEN

As we try to pack Organic Garden Straw Mulch into each size box, it starts out in a clump. Pull apart and loosen the garden straw as you remove it.

Garden Straw Step 2 - Shake Seed/Chaff into Box

SHAKE OUT SEEDS

If you prefer to have minimal seeds in your straw mulch (which also feeds the soil with important nutrients), shake out the chaff in the box.

Garden Straw Step 3 - Spread Straw

SPREAD STRAW

Spread garden straw mulch liberally over new seeding beds or around plants to provide a protective layer from heavy rain, wind, and scouring during watering, as well as retain soil moisture.

Why is Organic Straw good for my garden?

  • Unlike fabrics and covers, garden straw mulch is actually good for your garden. It’s also good for the earth and the environment. Especially when it doesn’t contain any residual chemicals from spray while being raised on the farms.
  • Straw mulch in gardens blocks out the sun, preventing weeds from growing and preventing hidden weed seeds from germinating.
  • It holds in moisture, so your soil stays damp longer (this means you won’t need to water as often).
  • It shades your soil so cool-season crops don’t bolt as soon (like lettuce, cilantro & broccoli)
  • It works as an organic fertilizer and improves your soil. As the garden straw mulch breaks down and composts, it will make your soil better and encourage worms into your garden.

6 steps to use Blue Mountain Organic Garden Straw to cut down on your weeds:

  • Start by weeding the area where you’d like to use your garden straw mulch.
  • Use a thick layer of straw mulch as soon as you are done weeding the area (do not leave time for the weeds to resprout.
  • Do not cover your vegetable seeds; wait until they are 4-8 inches tall to mulch around them.
  • Whenever you have an empty garden bed, use a thick layer of organic garden straw mulch to prevent weeds from growing, keep the soil moist, encourage worms, and improve your soil.
  • Cram the organic garden straw mulch down between plants such as garlic and onions, when the ground is covered the weeds should not be able to grow.
  • Covering all of your walking paths with a thick layer of straw mulch will also save you a lot of work!

USE BOX AS WEED BARRIER

Weed Barrier - Step 1 - Cut Box

STEP 1

Cut the box in half on 3 sides and corners. Once cut, fold-out flat and cover the area around your plant to create a weed barrier.

Weed Barrier -Step 2 - Prep Box and Plant

STEP 2

Cut an X in the box over the spot you’d like to place your plants. Fold the edges of the X under the box to create a hole. Dig away dirt and plant.

Weed Barrier - Step 3 - Spread Garden Straw

STEP 3

Take straw for your garden and build a thick layer around the new plants and cover the box. Also, don’t forget to water the area.

I was expecting more. 75 square feet? I don’t think so. Actually the straw appears very clean, I did not see any seeds or other impurities. But price vs product, this is far too expensive to use on a regular basis.

Very happy with product, very clean & easy to use, nearly packed in box. For those complaining about the growing seeds, that’s going to happen, it comes from a live plant.

Works great but if you are trying to use them for your strawberries. Perhaps a shredded mulched version will be best. This one was kinda hard to work with. Then I saw a gardener on YouTube and realized my problem… it wasn’t smaller blended pieces. They were long and a bit awkward to work with. None the less this was my fault for not being more vigilant on what experts used lol. Nothing wrong with the product. Organic and great quality and dare I say.. smells great lol. Even my chihuahua likes it. But keep in mind what you are using it for.

This straw is long pieces that, if you want to use in garden beds or something, you will want to break up. It works but it had a bunch of seeds in.

I truly wish I had read the reviews! It could have saved me so much headache. I used this in my 5 x 10 garlic and onion bed. Yes, it is huge but I wasn't going to need to do much weeding. WRONG!!! A good 2/3 of my bed is straw seed sprouted, along with some random leafy thing. This is going to be so hard on my knees, back, and arthritic hands when what I thought I was paying for was a garden helper. SMHI am going back to purchasing our garden straw from HealthiStraw. They wash the seeds out, sure you get a few sprouts, but it is only a few AND it is shredded! Even the line that isn't organic has had everything done to it that they can to make sure it is clean, per the manufacturer.
