Product Description

straw

Locally Grown and Harvested in The United States

Used for a numerous amount of tasks:

sheep

Animal Bedding

Straw has been used as bedding for horses and farm animals for many years. It's warm, allows urine and other liquids to drain away, provides a comfortable bed, and is almost always less expensive than wood shavings and other beddings.

garden

Garden Mulch

Adds additional bio mass and makes your garden or flower bed a place weeds will not want to grow.

mushroom

Mushroom Cultivation

Straw and hay bales are commonly used as the bulk ingredients in mushroom substrate because they are inexpensive and easy to use. ... Though many types of mushrooms can be cultivated at home, oyster mushrooms are one of the easiest types to cultivate, and they generally grow well in hay bales.

egg

Keeps the Chicken Eggs Clean

If you own chickens, make sure that there's lots of fresh straw in the nesting box, for this helps keep the eggs cleaner, as well as aiding in breaking prevention.

Lawn

Desirable product for your lawn

Until established, grass seed or newly germinated plants will die if allowed to dry out completely.

Straw helps slow evaporation of water from the soil and keeps it moist while the grass seeds germinate. Leave the straw on top of the new grass seeds until they've germinated and grown tall enough for the first mowing.

After mowing the grass, either remove the straw or leave it to decompose amid the grass blades.

Bought this for bedding for stray cats. Read that you can’t put blankets out for them. Placed a couple boxes with this as bedding. Hopefully helped save a few from the winter cold. Good value.

Bails of hay can be deceiving so the one thing I look at is weight. The weight is listed as 27 lbs. That would mean a VERY compressed bail. Instead this is more like 3 lbs. I didn't weigh it so this is an approximation from lifting it.Considering I'm buying this to spread on raised beds to protect the ground from the heat of the summer this isn't any better than buying the bagged stuff that has tacking on it to help it stay in position (used when seeding large areas to keep seed in place and hide it from birds. That tacking isn't going to affect anything I'm planting and I can buy about the same amount of material as this for around 20 USD, and if I really want a lot I can just go to a store that's more like a farmer's supply and buy regular bails. They're about the same price as this but WAY more material.If you can accept tack on the material as in you're using something for landscaping/gardening of any sort save your money and get something else. If you need bedding material I guess this is OK? I don't know for sure.Seller needs to change the weight listed under product description so it doesn't confuse anyone else.
