IMHO organic material ie straw and wood chips attract bugs and snakes especially straw. Also neither stays put in heavy rain or wind. Spend the money on heavier material such as stone, shells, recycled rubber tire material that doesn't deteriorate and it's a one and done project. Only maintenance is some weed killer occasionally. Just my opinion having been down that road.
