Spartina Patens, known as Salt Hay, is a type of natural cord grass that grows in salt marshes along the Eastern Seaboard.

Its organic nature makes it ideal for garden beds. The shape and consistency of Salt Hay protect the soil from sunlight, both insulating delicate roots while also retaining moisture to enhance plant growth and development. This same feature makes it a great winter insulator for bulbs, vegetables, and perennials.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike wood chip mulch, Salt Hay is rot resistant, does not compact, and decomposes slowly, which means that it will last much longer than traditional mulches.
