Farmer Tom's Pea Straw Mulch benefits include;

• The primary benefit of mulching is to spread on the surface around plants to retain moisture. Less watering means saving of time and high water bills - can be up to 50%.
• During summer, mulching will keep ground cooler and more moist by absorbing water readily and deflecting heat.
• By mulching the ground before extreme winter temperatures set in, the soil will retain heat and be protected from winds, low temperatures and frost.
• Tedious weeding is eliminated as most weed seedlings can not emerge through mulch blanket.
• After the mulch has largely decomposed it should be turned into the soil - with subsequent benefits.
• Becoming an instant food source for earthworms whose castings provide natural nutrients - essential for strong healthy plants.
• Creates a more friable soil structure for better water penetration and retention.

Directions for spreading.

• Best spread in calm conditions.
• Keep away from plant stem to discourage the spread of soil-borne fungal disease.
• Water well after spreading, this assists in binding straw together to prevent blowing.
• Watering will be reduced but check regularly under mulch for soil moisture.
• This mulch is dampened when packed however, some dust may still be present. The wearing of a respirator and gloves is recommended and wash hands after use.
