We ship with FedEx, UPS, and USPS. Carrier preference is not guaranteed unless explicitly communicated to us.
Orders shipped to PO Boxes often require additional costs and are not eligible for free shipping. Use a physical address to avoid delays and fees.
We ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Free shipping generally does not apply to large or bulky items shipped to these locations. Hawaii and Alaska do have more flexibility with this due to carrier policies. Quotes will be calculated at checkout or by request.
We do ship to Canada for select items. Canadian customers must choose “UPS Standard® Shipping to Canada with no Surprises!” at checkout to ensure proper customs clearance and avoid unexpected brokerage fees or delays. Orders using other methods may be subject to delays or rejection at customs.
Some products are fulfilled by vendor partners and display estimated ship dates on their product pages. Questions about these items should be sent to support@buildasoil.com.

Looking for mulch but don't have a farm in your backyard?
We now have the Organic Certification for this straw!!
We have access to an abundance of straw and are happy to ship you some for your small garden. Larger gardens will benefit from sourcing locally.
This barley straw is CERTIFIED ORGANIC and comes from a local farm.
We get MONSTER bales by the full truckload and then store it on pallets under hay tarps to ensure the cleanest organic straw for your garden.
Looking for something that has NO seeds? Check out our Blue Oyster Mushroom Straw Logs. They are made on an organic mushroom farm and pre-sterilized before they grow mushrooms on them.
1 Cubic Foot of straw doesn't weigh much but will easily mulch 6-12 plants depending on the depth of mulch and the size of the container. The straw is compressed when baled and we do not fluff it up before packaging. So 1 bag will hold more than you think.
Approximate measurements:
1/2 Cubic Foot Bag - Good for 5-10 Plants
1 Cubic Foot Bag - Good for 6-12 Plants
2 Cubic Foot Box - This is a 30x15x15 box is uncompressed barley straw from our compressed bales.
The weight of the boxes may vary, but we will always get them as full as possible!
Free Bonus - This straw will have seeds in it still and you will have volunteer "Living Mulch" in your containers. This grass will move moisture around in your soil container and provide additional root exudates to feed the microlife.
If you have been waiting to mulch until you get a round to it.... Well that day is today.
Add a box of Organic Straw to your shopping cart and take your garden to the next level.
Top dress your containers for a sweet straw mulch layer.
I often put my straw into a tub or bucket and moisten it so that it's less dusty and clean and easy to apply as mulch. You could even presoak your straw in Yah-Whey or something microbial to help kick start the break down.

I Love how it looks but more importantly I Love what it’s doing, and blended with the clover cover crop it literally tops it all off ands makes every picture complete & organically beautiful. Try it once and you won’t grow without it guaranteed
no bugs, works great
Outstanding product! I have used this product several grows and it's always high quality.
Good price and they loaded it up. I did end up using post oak wood chips sold as meat smoking fuel as my mulch.
Was having an issue with dry topsoil. Found myself misting multiple times a day. This straw mulch has made all the difference. Topsoil is healthy and stays that way.
