Cheap, quality pine straw in bulk?
 

Anyone know where to get wholesale prices on good quality pine straw?
Residential Pine Straw sells it for $3.95 delivered... that's still
pretty pricey, but I'll need a lot (probably 50-75 bales or more) so
delivery is good.
But cheaper would be better.

They claim their bales are a bit larger and cleaner than what sells at
Lowes/Home Depot.
Anyone have experience or other recommendations?
Thanks!

Seems like Lowes or HD was 3.25 per bale. If that is the correct number
then their bales would have to be 21% larger to equal the ones from
Lowes or HD. Even then you may be comparing apples to oranges because
it depends on how tightly packed the bales are.

YOu might be able to use weight as a comparison assuming both are dry.

Also long leaf pine is generally better than loblolly or other short
leaf pines.

Just remember...you get what you pay for. That shit they sell at HD and
Lowes couldn't be put out anywhere else but on a cheapskates yard.
