Straw Mulching

As extreme heat events and droughts are becoming more common, it is imperative soil and vine health are managed accordingly. The most significant value of Straw Mulching is soil moisture retention, which also aids in minimising soil surface heat and, keeping feeder roots at a much more ambient temperature.

Other important benefits of Straw Mulching are improved soil health and increased organic matter. Over a period of time, soil structure is improved which leads to more consistent water infiltration and a build-up of earthworms and soil microbial activity. Under-vine weeds are also minimised due to the thick layer of straw preventing germination.

Healthy soils contain microbes that help prevent disease, cycle nutrients and help reduce plant stress.
