We aren't ready to replace the pine straw with pebbles or other material but I would like to freshen it up. I can't find where to buy bales of pine straw. They have pine mulch at Lowe's which is different.

The gardener is very adamant to replace the pine straw, but I kinda suspect it is a money maker for him if he does. He says there are bugs in it. (Haven't seen any) and it is a fire hazard. I rather like the way it looks and the big upgrade of landscaping is expensive and takes some planning.

Any thoughts?
