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:
- Water as needed - Simply push back a little of the straw mulch so you can test the soils’ moisture
- Re-apply mulch when the previous layer of straw is breaking down and getting thin (1-3 times, depending on length of growing 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.
Is GardenStraw 100% wheat seed free?
Due to the nature of the sustainably sourced wheat plant, not all wheat seeds are removed from the straw during harvest. Through our unique and all-natural process, we filter out most wheat seeds. While we 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.
