With all the pine trees constantly shedding needles, we had to come up with a creative way to deal with it. Thus, we rake it up in piles and then put it around the shrubs. Poor man's mulch.
Why is this brown type of hay used down south for landscaping beds vs. mulch?
I have an aversion to pine straw..... I spent many a years slipping on it and trying to get rid of it from my yards up North....lol. It is VERY popular choice down here but I still pick mulch or rock/stone for my landscaping. I heard that snakes like pine straw but I don't know if that is a myth.
I remember being perplexed when I saw landscapers laying it down for the first time.
