Farmer Tom's Pea Straw 50 L

Features and Benefits Chopped pea straw, easy to spread and quick to settle Covers up to 8 square metres per bale Cuts watering by up to half by shading and insulating the soil Protects soil from sun and wind Breaks down to add nitrogen and organic matter, as a legume straw Compressed 50 litre bale, Australian grown and processed in South Australia Directions For Use Garden Beds – weed first, water the ground well, then spread 50 to 75 mm deep, keeping the straw 2 cm clear of stems and trunks. Water again to settle it. Vegetable Beds – spread more thinly, around 30 to 50 mm, so seedlings are not smothered. Top up – as the straw breaks down over the season. Pea straw can carry viable pea seed, so expect a few pea seedlings. They pull out easily, or dig them in as a green manure. Wear gloves and a dust mask when handling, and wash hands after use.
