GardenStraw Mulch: the hero for raised beds and containers

With vegetable gardens planted and summer heat coming, the need for water increases significantly to keep gardens thriving.

Containers and raised garden beds will notice this increased demand quicker, but in-ground garden spaces need more water too! Heat causes the temperature of the soil to increase and the soil to dry out, causing plants to be stressed. Plants focus on surviving the stress instead of growing and producing fruit.

Gardeners have 2 choices to help their gardens not just survive but thrive. They can water daily, sometimes even multiple times a day, or they can apply mulch to their gardens.

GardenStraw Mulch: the hero for raised beds and containers

Reduce Watering Needs: mulch prevents major evaporation and soil from drying out, therefore reducing the frequency of watering needs.

Improves Plant Health: mulch moderates fluctuations in soil temperature, preventing roots from drying out or heating up. Diseases are also prevented from mud splashing on plants.

Improves Soil Health: mulch protects from erosion, compaction and aids in aeration.

Healthy Gardens = Higher Yields

Every gardener waits expectantly for the day when it’s time to harvest fresh produce from the garden. A healthy garden where the soil is protected, adequately hydrated and plants are thriving will have higher yields!

Beyond heat protection, GardenStraw is an important part of a productive garden all season long – from start to finish.
