Pine straw is often cheaper than mulch, especially in regions where pine trees are abundant. It covers more ground per bale compared to mulch per bag, making it a cost-effective option.
Pine straw provides excellent moisture retention by insulating the soil and helping prevent water evaporation. It also breaks down slowly, adding organic matter to the soil over time.
Pine straw is lighter and interlocks better than mulch, making it effective for controlling erosion on sloped landscapes. Its fibrous structure helps it stay in place even during heavy rains or wind.
Pine straw creates a dense layer that can help suppress weed growth.
Pine straw is considered a more environmentally friendly option since it is a byproduct of pine trees shedding their needles. No trees are harmed in its collection, unlike some mulch options that are derived from bark or wood products.
Pine straw decomposes slowly. Therefore, it doesn’t need to be replaced as frequently as some mulches, reducing the amount of maintenance required.
