Straw for Mulch For Sale at BuildASoil

Looking for mulch but don't have a farm in your backyard?

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 not certified organic but comes from a local farm. There isn't a need to spray for pests and most of the local farms use chicken manure as the cheapest means to fertilize etc. There will be some foreign dried plant material as there always is with any straw bales.

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. 

 

Useful Info

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:
2 Gallon Bag - Good for 1-3 plants
1/2 Cubic Foot Bag - Good for 5-10 Plants
1 Cubic Foot Bag - Good for 6-12 Plants
Fluffed Box - This is a 30x18x18 box is uncompressed barley straw from our compressed bales.
Compressed Box - This is a 30x18x18 box that we stuff full of compressed barley straw.

The weight of the boxes may vary, but we will always get them as full as possible!

Free Bonus - This barley straw will have seeds in it still and you will have volunteer "Living Barley Mulch" in your containers. This living barley 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 Barley Straw to your shopping cart and take your garden to the next level.

Super disappointing quantity

I got the two gallon bag. It was super loosely packed and the bag was hardly full. Barely enough to do a super thin mulch layer in a 3x3 bed. First time being disappointed with a BAS product. Worth springing for the inoculated straw although those sometimes have other critters tagging along for the ride.
