This afternoon a spent a few hours spreading 10 bales of pine straw in the new garden finishing my project!
What do you think?
The southern states of the US are covered with millions of acres of Slash, Longleaf and Yellow pines. The pine needles are harvest yearly as they fall and used as mulch in southern gardens.
Georgians spend more than $25 million on pine straw every year! Almost three-quarters of the straw harvested in Georgia is from slash pine, but longleaf pines produce the longest, and most desirable straw.

I'm a huge fan of mulch to keep weeds in check - ours is usually cedar mulch though. The pine straw looks to nice and fluffy!
Me too but I think the pine straw looks better a few weeks later when it flattens out a bit.
