Bringing Pine Straw Mulch to Ohio since 1997!

Ohio is known as the Buckeye state, not the land of pine straw mulch. Instead, we do have lots of deciduous trees, and for years gardeners have used the ground bark from those trees as mulch.

However, bark mulch is susceptible to molds and fungus, especially shotgun or artillery fungus ( sphaerobolus stellatus ), often has a repugnant barnyard odor and attracts insects like millipedes that thrive on decomposing matter. It also seems to break down so quickly that by the end of the season you are left with dirt and sticks and the prospect of doing it all over again next year. . . .messy, smelly and definitely not economical!

So, when we first saw pine straw mulch used extensively as mulch down south, we were intrigued. Being from Ohio, we had never seen anything quite like it.

That was in 1997. Since then we have been pleased to bring pine straw mulch to the Buckeye State.
