Why choose Goldfields shredded straw?

• Healthy growing environment: Entirely shredded in bio-secure facilities, it reduces the risk of bacterial contamination and ensures a clean environment for your plants.
• Eco-friendly approach: Enjoy a 100% natural, chemical-free product, perfect for your organic gardening projects.
• Soil regulation: It conserves soil moisture, blocks weed growth, and protects roots against temperature fluctuations.
• Versatile use: Use it effectively in the vegetable garden or as comfortable, safe bedding for your animals.

Horticultural Use: Plants and Timing

This mulch is particularly beneficial for water-intensive crops and those whose fruits thrive when kept off the direct soil surface.

• Recommended plants: Ideal for strawberries, tomato plants, squash, cucumbers, peppers, garlic, and small fruits.
• When to install: Apply the straw in the spring, once the soil has thoroughly warmed up and plants are well-established (approximately 10 to 15 cm in height).
• When to remove: At the end of the season, incorporate it into the soil to enrich its organic structure or remove it for composting.

Installation instructions

1. Preparation: Clean the area to be covered by removing weeds and lightly level the soil.
2. Spreading: Open the bag and spread the chopped straw evenly at the base of your plants or across your landscaping surfaces.
3. Thickness: Maintain a layer of 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) to stop weeds and retain water.
4. Setting: Water the mulch lightly after application to settle the strands on the ground and prevent them from blowing away with the wind.
