Kilroy, that is a realy strange website. It is not a garden center. It is an office for one of the umptheen companies that make your backyard in to an outdoor oasis. They haul in tons of rock, slate, landscape stone and make tiered areas with pools, waterfalls, firepits, kitchens, paths, lights, pergolas, etc. I can't see how pine straw would fit into this type of design. Its all decorative stone with hardly anything native to the area.
Bower that is good to know. I don't have enough grass clippings for the entire bed, but it is worth trying a section until it is used up. I have quite a bit of garlic to experiment with. My limiting factor this year is lack of bed prep from not being tilled yet. Its hard to find people to do this type of labor on an occassional basis.
The weather is not cooperating for getting garlic prep done. I waited too long. It was a good season, too good to give up on until the last bit uf summer was gone.
