We’ve talked about the benefits of pine straw in your flower bed, now it’s time to talk about mulch. Just like pine straw, mulch helps prevent weeds, retains moisture in the soil, and insulates the roots from extreme temperatures. Mulch comes in different colors such as brown, red or black depending on the aesthetic you’re looking for. Depending on the color you choose, it can add a new dimension to your yard by complementing or contrasting your plants. This is one reason you might choose mulch over pine straw. In the end, they both protect your plants and cost about the same, so it’s up to you!
