Re pine straw: can't imagine not using it around the Siberians and Japanese irises here. 
  Folks actually buy it in bales? Hmmm...maybe I could sell the tons we have around here
  to pay for my new irises?  :-)

Pine straw is quite commonly used to mulch beardless irises. I use it 
to mulch my beardless, but I just run up to the pine plantation at the 
end of my township road and rake up all I need. No fire ants here, 
thank goodness!
