To the question of “Are there any local sources of long leaf pine straw” ….
Longleaf pine is generally considered to be the premier source of pine needles for mulch and very few long leaf trees are found in Chatham.  However there is significant production not to far south of us in Moore and surrounding counties.  If you want 200 bales, I suspect you can get it delivered wholesale.  Contact a member of the Pine Needle Producers Association at http://www.ncpineneedleproducers.com/
