I did not know coir could be used as mulch. Interesting. I usually use straw, but didn't cut it up. Who has time for that? 😅

[@DinasGarden]

Thanks for your comment! Coir can be a great mulch option, even if it’s not as commonly used. It offers benefits comparable to other mulches. We cut the straw manually for our small containers. This method is perfect for tiny gardens or balconies. But let’s be real, if you have a larger garden or lots of containers, it’s best to use pre-cut straw or cut it with a mower or shredder. The key is to make sure the straw is in small pieces to get all the benefits discussed in the video, no matter how you cut it.

If you get the straw from a field do you spray it with anything so you’re not introducing additional bugs or parasites?

[@DinasGarden]

Thank you for your question! I don’t spray the straw with chemicals. Instead, I let it sit in the sun for a few days to reduce the presence of bugs and parasites.

Why no mention of pine needles?

[@DinasGarden]

Thanks for pointing that out! Pine needles can be a great mulch option, especially for acid-loving plants. We focused on other types of mulch for this video but appreciate the suggestion. Have you had good results with pine needles in your garden?

I have lots of pine needles. What would you call “acid loving plants”
