    Need some pine Straw. Pine Straw Express's number has been disconnected. Can someone recommend a company for delivery of good quality pine straw (average price per bale is a plus).

    Thanks
    (PS. Before you ask, I'm 9 months pregnant and due this week so getting it myself is not an option. I have someone to install it. It's my own form of nesting.).

    Ogburn's Landscape had the same price and delivery as Lee's

    Jones Farm Supply in Benson, NC/McGee's Crossroads is delivering to 27529 (we are exactly 10 miles apart) for $30 and is $4.00 per bale. We are getting 60 bales. 919-894-4730

    Don't know where the pine straw comes from, but $3.89/bale at Lowe's, and it is fairly clean.

    You all do know that price can be related to bale size, right?

    This the number of the man we have all seen along 42 near Smithfield chicken and sometimes near ODS. This information is from last summer, but we have seen him in the last month or so.

    You can pick up or he can deliver and can install too.

    Congrats!! on the baby

    We got pinestraw from the man on 42 last week. It was $3.80 per bale and it was packed so tight that each bale expanded probably 5 times its size. We did not need nearly as much as we got because of how far each bale spread. I have no idea what he charges to deliver--he loaded our pickup for us

    I paid $2.50 a bale two years ago. Free delivery. I'm afraid to call and ask now!

    Anyone used Juan to put out the pine straw? Does he do a good job?

    It's pine straw time again. Any changes in the recommendations for sources from this year?

    Ouch. Why do I have all these steep hills that need straw? I called Jones Farm Supply. Long Needle is more this year. $4.50 a bale but they will deliver to me for $20. I'm going to try to get by with 50 bales this year. Sure wish I could figure out a way to easily put mulch on a long steep hill

    Plant native ground covers that outcompete and choke out the weeds and be done with pine straw forever! And it's cheaper!

    And the roots will help prevent erosion too.
