Soapstone will have long needle pine straw. Why is this better?
Due to the thicker, coarser nature of the southern longleaf needle, it is much longer-lasting than other varieties of pine straw, as it takes longer to biodegrade. It also tends to have a brighter, redder color than other varieties of pine straw, making it more appealing in terms of appearance.

Our bale size is the normal bale size as they sell at Lowes or garden nurseries and covers 40 square feet at 3-4 inches in depth
