Long Needle Pine Straw Mulch - 100 Sqft Coverage 1 Set - Premium USA Harvested PineStraw for Landscaping, Weed Control, Moisture Retention & Erosion Control - USA Pinestraw

I’ve been struggling to find a good mulch to lay down around my roses. My goal was to help retain moisture from watering and keep down weeds, but also allow sufficient airflow and pH levels to fight mildew and black spot. I’ve tried wood chips, fern fronds, hay, and compost with varying degrees of failure. Then I learned about pine needles/pine straw and gave this product a try. It’s been two weeks and already there is a marked improvement in moisture retention and a reduction in weeds cropping up between the plants. The powdery mildew and black spot that I had finally gotten under control from earlier this year have shown no signs of returning. And the one box I purchased had enough pine straw to put a nice mat around twenty rose plants, including the open ground between plants. The product was very well packed in the box, arranged in two columns with circular sections of long needles that were easy to separate and fluff out for even coverage. It gives a natural yet uniform look to the rose bed that does not get blown around with the wind or disturbed by squirrels. I expect it will compact down when the rains return and make a nice foundation for winter mulching as well.

Excellent pine straw delivered right to your door! Top quality, packed perfectly, band beautiful! I loved spreading it and I love the color! Totally satisfied!

Best mulch decision I ever made. It’s lightweight, beautiful color, great smell and natural. Replacing all my moldy, bleached bark mulch with this product.

I’d probably rate this around 3.5 stars overall. The pine straw itself was perfectly fine and looked nice once spread out, so I don’t really have complaints about the actual product quality. My main issue was the advertised coverage. I don’t feel like the 100 sq ft estimate was very realistic unless you’re putting down an extremely thin layer. I ended up needing more than expected to get decent coverage in my garden beds. If you go into it expecting less coverage than advertised, it’s still a decent product, but I do think the listing is a little optimistic on the amount.

Excellent. Definitely more pine needles than I expected and don't listen to people who say that there's a lot of stuff mixed in, because that just tells me it's the real deal. Yes, there were a few pine cones and twigs but they incorporate quite well. I used this for my garden paths and I'm looking forward to seeing how they look over time as this begins to break down and add body to my soil. I use my garden paths for planting every other season.

Excellent

Everything I order is perfect
