Moisture Retention and Cooling benefits come from this organic matter garden straw, which retains moisture to keep soil wet longer and reduce the frequency of watering. The protective straw cover also shades the soil, preventing cool season crops like cilantro, lettuce, spinach, broccoli, and others from bolting too soon, allowing them to grow longer into the warmer months.

Wheat garden straw acts as a Weed Barrier by blocking out the sun and preventing hidden weeds from growing. By covering the soil, it inhibits seed germination of unwanted weeds and can help save on high summer water bills.

In terms of Composting, garden wheat straw is a natural and beneficial option for your garden compared to artificial fabrics and chemicals. As the straw composts, it slowly adds nutrients to the soil, improving its quality and encouraging worm activity.
