Compressed pea straw mulch

[braided-rug]

Today while shopping I saw some next to the grocery, the hardware is next door. Since I had ds17 with me I sent him in with the money and he brought a bag out to the car. I haven't used it before so I am interested in how far it goes.

It is exciting, I guess because it keeps me up to speed to use something modern occasionally. Have you used it before?

If it does turn out it will be quite convenient in the light weight and clean packaging.

BR, would like the equivalent to our cypress or cedar mulch? Or it is more like our straw or hay?

It is a straw. We haven't opened it yet, but you can see it.

Usually we go to the dump, they have mulch there. Occasionally you get shredded pieces of plastic in there which looks ugly. You can see it in one of my garden pictures.

The dumps mulch is usually shredded gum trees from around the place that they need to prune etc. The commercial one is made from pine trees. We don't have cedar or cypress so that is interesting, thanks.

We also can get rice hulls, but they are very light weight.

Should take a pic of the bale. A very dull day here though!

Some interesting ones there that I didn't know about.

Will put a pic in later.
