Farmer Tom’s Pea Straw Mulch – 60L Bag

*This product may contain pea seeds that could germinate. 

 Pea Straw is a natural soil conditioner which provides extra Nitrogen and nutrients to the soil as it breaks down. This effect provides nutrients over the course of months and can be used anywhere you need to add a bit of extra Nitrogen. Helps to control weeds, as well as aid in water retention and protect the root systems of your plants.

Mulching Benefits:

• Adds a decorative element to all garden types

• Improves water penetration and reduces evaporation. Mulch also prevents water run-off and soil erosion

• Reduces the soil’s exposure to sun and frost, protecting the plant from extreme changes in soil temperature

How To Use:

Apply mulch to the soil surface to a depth of 4cm to 8cm in landscape gardens or 2cm to 4cm in pots. This is the ideal depth to allow the following:

• Maximum water penetration

• Minimum evaporation & buffer soil temperature against heat or frost

• Weed suppression

• Erosion control

• Used extensively as the key mulch in organic and no dig gardens

• Rich in beneficial essential and trace elements

• Breaks down to feed plants and improve soil structure (especially clay and sand-based soil that lacks organic matter)

• Ideal mulch/feed for roses and shrubs

• Excellent activator for compost
